"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.

I couldn't go clubbing!

So I ran into this chick last night at work, she opened me, kino'd me and asked me to meet her tonight. Now for a really stupid reason, I couldn't make it to the club. I offered to take her number last night so I could prevent this. Now I can't contact her and she'll be wondering why I wasn't in the club.

How do you think it will effect my image?

I may be overly investing in this girl, but she was doing all the work, and it was just so magnificent to experience, plus she looks really good.

I think she'll still be trying to do all the work next time I see her. I'm just going to have to act as non-needy as possible. I didn't make any crazy impressions yesterday, I was grumpy, so she seems to be digging the non-needy vibe.

I actually ran into her at a bus stop once (months ago) and there was a ****load of chemistry but I only got to talk to her for 2 minutes before a bus mix-up. I think she got off a bus to talk to me and then I got on the bus. That's why she remembered me and why she opened me yesterday at work.

I guess I will have to really play it cool next time I see her. My natural instinct would be to give her some excuse why I couldn't make it, but I don't need to be qualifying myself to her anyway.

What I need to keep in mind is the high value guy she perceives me to be! And which i aim to be!
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I like that you worked out your problem within the confines of one post. I think you're doing exactly what you have to.

thanks. I'm glad to hear it.

I guess I'll tell her I chilled out instead of going out because of my shoulder injury. She'll have to respect that. I suppose I'm pretty much solid/golden for the next time I see her, if she doesn't suddenly get swooped up by another guy or start to act all hard-to-get, like some unpredictable BPD.

As long as I play it cool I'll be fine.
