"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.

My biggest problem when I'm on a diet is that I always want something sweet after a meal. I try not to but what eventually happens is that when I have gone for awhile without something sweet I cant help it I always go overboard then have a bunch of sweet stuff.

So what I was woundering do you guys know anything that is sweet and that would be a good snack that doesn't ruin the diet?
 

"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.

substitute, don't eliminate. You'll binge if you eliminate. I buy things like dried mangoes to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Sugar free gum. It gives you the taste, the action of chewing and very few, if any calories.

PLUS! It encourages the flow of saliva which washes food particals off your teeth, preventing tooth decay.

There is just no down side!
 

"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.

I killed my sweet tooth by cutting out junk completely.

Im not religious at all, but a couple of years ago for lent, I gave up all chocolate/sweets/junk for an entire 40 days, stuck to it, and at the end, I found the craving was gone.
I used to eat sweet/junk foods almost everyday, since lent a few years ago Its more like twice a week at most, or on holidays. I just don't have the same desire for sweet things I used to, I eat loads of bananas!

Guess what, Lent started yesterday, so theres my challenge to you-
chocolate- eat a bannana
coke/fanta etc - drink skimmed milk or fruit squash
other sweet things- snack on dried fruit, nuts, bread etc.

stick to it for 40 days, at the end of that, binge as much as you like, but I suspect you wont want to.

Cure.
