"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.

Today I got a 3.5 percent increase... it's better than nothing but I know I am worth more. It's a warehouse job, and it doesn't pay crap but.. it's helped me take care of my family, and there's plenty of OT.

I'm just wondering, is it a good increase, or no?

I've got another job lined up already, but I dunno if I should try to negotiate a better increase with them regardless. It may come back and bite me in da a$$.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

That's pretty much just keeping up with inflation so you have the same income as last year now.
