HAHA! You Win! too true my young friend. too true.and the how i met your mother thread is no differnt from the AFC movie thread.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
I'll reiterate: i'm not gonna take offense to anything people say to me in here because for the most part i see them as lab rats. (at least the ones that take things so personaly on an anonymous forum with names like oh tits) which is most on here and the reason why Pook told me he left. and if you want to use the word irrelevent your quote is irrelevent because, if the show was funny or not was not the question.SinJester said:So I'm a 'lab rat'? That's flattering.
Why is it always the same type of people who start calling everyone 'KBJs!'
Anyway I think How I Met Your Mother is a good show and is fairly similar to life, just exagerated for comedy, but if it wasn't similar it wouldn't be funny. Kind of irrelevant in any case.

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.
