You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Metrosexual? I'm a 6'5 rugged ass Marine. I think the reason fags like you don't post their pics is because you know you'd get ridiculed for your femininity that shines through in your posts.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You know what I like about you Chuckles, that I can annoy you just by existing. Without doing anything I can make you dance for me by proving your worth by expounding how much of a man you think you are. Keep reminding yourself and you'll keep up that dream.
What? This coming from an effeminate middle aged loser? You don't piss me off. I take great joy in letting people know what a latent homosexual you really are.
Dance puppet, dance... Good Chuckles... Maybe you should try giving women as much attention as you give me. And didn't I warn you about being overly concerned with how other guys look?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Correction, I'm questioning your masculinity. You're in a state of denial "franny"..I'm just trying to bring you back to reality.....
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
You know who I am Chuckles. I am the reason you keep coming to this site. I am the guy that you can never forget. I am the guy that that makes you beg and plead to see just who has the skills you could only dream of having. I am the bane of your existance.
Maybe, but that's not the point. It is like you had asked, what about HER made him feel that it was a great date. Actually, the activity itself was good, it was just his date that wasn't.
Here's the thing franny. I'm 25, I have a college degree, and I'll be attending law school after being discharged from the Marines.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Well doc....seeing as you and franny are of another persuasion...I don't think either of you will be "banging" her...
