Well, hells bells, you're 97 years old. How much did you expect to make as a Walmart greeter?mustfirstregister said:Just wondering...how much money do you make per hour?..I don't make much...only 11.5/hour
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.

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.
I'm an RN working in critical care. Here's our salary index in Alberta:Social_Leper said:Mind me asking what exactly you do to get paid $80 an hour? Gigolo?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Rock on, our rates are comparable once I am qualified. That takes a few years to get finished, but they pay you to basically learn on the job and go to school. If funny you mention critical care because I work on (sometimes) critical nuclear reactors. Its a round the clock job sometimes, so you get all the OT, night shifts and sometimes vacation work days which adds up in pay, but can really take away from your life away from work.Fuglydude said:I'm an RN working in critical care.

My base rate is for year 4, so 36.80 + 1.25 for my degrees + 2.5 for working a half and half day and night shifts. Works out to be like 40 or something. Double that for overtime.
