"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.

Hi,

I have a problem with lying; lying to myself and to others. What are some helpful ways for me to be on the path towards living with honesty?


-thanks
 

"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.

You do not love yourself, and you are not worth loving.

CHANGE...

Do you really need someone to teach you how not to lie to others and yourself? You cannot be THAT pathetic.

You got to have self-respect. You have got to live up to your principals and never compromise on them. You've got to be sure of who you want to be and have enough conviction to uphold it even though if it is generally frowned upon. You've got to understand that admitting your faults is not a sign of weakness but a display of strength and willingness to improve. And you have to strive to improve yourself so that you can be what you envision.

Why lie? When you die, do you want to look back in your life and say, "my life was fake, and i did not really live it."

I would rather live poor in an alley than THINKING im rich in a palace.

So when a girl calls or whatever say what you are really doing, this can motivate you to actually do something.

This would be more helpful if you were more specific.

Learn to accept your short commings in life. "Man up" for what you have done whether you liked it or not,doesnt matter what it is. The only way you can better yourself is to accept what you have done in life and move on. "There is no such thing as failing,only feedback".
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Don't hide from blame. Take responsibility for yourself. Do you have a sh¡tty job? That's your fault. Are you single and frustrated? That's your fault too. Are you overall disappointed with your life? Your fault. Figure out how you can change all of this.

Recognize what obstacles you have within yourself and find ways to overcome them. Mine are happiness and apathy. When I feel happy or when I'm in a "don't give a fuċk" mood, I won't do anything to improve my life.
