"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

they are generally total *ssholes.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

and you don't talk about the actors real life or it totally ruins the show.
monaco is 100% correct. it used to be better... but it's still awesome. when something becomes too big... it goes downhill.
but i do have season 1-3 on dvd... they're awesome.
IF i was a mod, i would SO lock this.
I love House. Just got all the seasons on DVD for my birthday.
I'm guessing since we have a new thread on it that maybe a new episode came out tonight? I gotta go find it and watch it.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Pssst.... it's easy to find a torrent. I watched one or two episodes of this season, got hooked, but then decided to watch it from the beginning of season one. (I finished just last night.) It's better than watching it on DVR, because the commercials are edited out and it's HDTV (for someone like myself who doesn't have HDTV).Paper Man said:
Introduction of the new characters shows they have run out of ideas. They also focus less on House's pains, but they did conclude that.
Season 4, is a happier House.

Hey genius, if nobody except you get to watch it, well then it doesn't stay on the air. GOOD JOBMichele said:
"She's Out of Your League"
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.
Season 4 is a bit different I'm still trying to decide if its going down hill or not

Not uncommon for Brit actors to play Americans. Sometimes you can tell because the pronunciation is exagerrated (often based on the perception that all americans drawl). Hugh Laurie was famous before House. He was the hilarious goofy nice guy Bertie Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster, a total 180 degrees from Gregory House. You might see it sometimes rerun on Masterpiece Theater.HandyAndy said:
