"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.
How far are you from your goals?

"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.

i want to be a doctor... i decided to leave high school early because it was a huge waste of time... so i took my GED. i haven't taken any classes yet. it's going to be a real pain.
i know what i want, but there are SOOO many paths to get there.
the easiest, but most painful way to get there is to have the military (air national guard) pay for it. it's not as hard as it seems, i'm sure... the easiest of all the military basic trainings and tech schools, i'm VERY sure... but it's a huge change of lifestyle i don't want to commit to.
i ALMOST had a chance to get a full ride at a 4 year local college. be the top scorer on the GED test within the room i was taking it in... with a minimum of a certain number... and i was 6 freakin points away... thats almost neglible compared to how many freakin questions i got right. with this, i could have skipped the military completely.
it still pisses me off telling that story to people.
it's minor... but for some reason i really don't want to put up with the strict rules of the military.... i can't grow my hair out to even a medium length for how many years if i join. and... my hairs been shaggy for years.
but it's going to take dedication... and i have to do what i have to do. the benefits are worth it (getting paid TO GO to school, getting paid for one weekend of service, sign on bonus of $15,000... money money.)... but i freakin hate change. i'm pretty scared of life of being a REAL adult.

Young brother, the trick is to prioritize your goals. Pick one or two which are feasable and accomplish those first. Move on to the next one or to follow.ItsOnNow said:
