do you have any idea on how it came about?
"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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 don't think they really know the real causes of Hodgkin's? Viral, who knows? It does strike young people I knew a guy in high school Senior class who found out he had Hodgkin's just before graduation. He had a lump...usually in the groin or the armpit. He underwent treatment for a while, came out of it OK, went on to become a doctor. He missed the first year of college, but he used his experience to leap forward tremendously.
Good luck wolf, hang in there and be strong.

Best of luck Wolf.
Might not mean much, but I'm sure the whole community here is behind you.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Wolf, five years from now this thread will be 500 pages long and more focused on your advice as a cancer survivor. But you have a lot of work to put in first. Good luck with everything.
Yeah I guess I don't really care about my deadlift now that I know how to use a gym, I can always start again.EFFORT said:
When I get through this it will be because of doctors saving my life. There's nothing I can really do except eat well and stay positive.
I sent you a PM Quiksilver.

determination is your first weapon of defense.
telling yourself and believing that you will not let cancer take you, is something you need to do daily.
telling yourself, i will not have cancer for long, will spark more hope inside yourself than just being silent about it.
start a blog and get your feelings out.
you can do that on your myspace page.
don't stop being you just because you have an illness.
perhaps it will go into remission very soon.
we are all here rooting for you wolf. please continue to let us know how you are doing by updating your thread.
our family will pray for you to over come this.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hoping your whole experience is nothing more then a inconvenience. Best of luck at a fast and permanent recovery.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.
This really makes you want to live your life to the fullest. One day you can wake up and find out you have cancer, etc.
You sound like you're being very proactive about it which is great! Fight hard and you'll pull through man.

I believe sometimes in life God calls upon us to fight for something. He sees strength, and tests it.
A lot of people go through life without much to fight for, but for those that get called upon...like you Wolf, you will discover a strength inside of you that nothing can take away.
When you beat this, you'll wake up each morning truly understanding, that today, is the first day of the rest of your life.

Thanks so much everyone for your support, I even got an email from Warboss Alex which made my day.
Thanks for letting me vent a little, I can't tell anyone in real life except mum, they will just treat you like you're dying and look at you strangely when you laugh.
I will keep everyone up to date.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
