"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How Should You Smile? And How Can You Make Your Smile Better?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I've FILLED my head with good thoughts. A nursery rhyme or some sunshiny tune I'll sing while I'm driving. Also, just generally being optimistic, opportunistic, and laughing full of love is the ONLY way to smile. Killer smile is the only way to smile. Just be a killer. Like, I guess, Russell Crowe in Gladiator when he talks about smiling at Death as Death smiles at us all.

Did you take a few hits of acid?

Some people don't smile much or just don't know how much teeth to show or if they should show teeth, etc.

A lot of times I don't show teeth, but they see me smilin on the inside. I'm always charismatic. I've been told that by married and unmarrieds alike. Married women tend to want to branch swing to me, I don't know why.

Are you the guy who played Kramer?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

No. He's racist, and Jewish. I'm Irish and don't hate all people who aren't like me, even though I think my way is the only way to live.

If you're even THINKING about smiling, or making a conscious effort to smile, it never comes as genuine.

You should work on being happy, and let a real smile spring to life.

Gotta ask, what's with the attitude? The guy is replying to your thread question, and you insult him for it. "a few hits of acid". It looks like smiling isn't the main problem here.
