"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.

Yeah, I did that a few years ago - hurt like hell. Hopefully it's the left ventricle, cause that heals a lot faster than the right one.Originally posted by wheelin&dealin
Sounds to me like you pulled your heart muscle.

Actually, I think the official medical term is you "tweeked" something. I wouldn't worry about it unless you continue to have pain, or it's recurring.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
More of like center. I'm not sure if it's outside or inside, maybe between.Originally posted by livin large
Ok, is this thing really inside your chest, or is it in your ribs? If you feel pain from it, it is either your heart or your ribs. I highly doubt it is your heart, because if you did something to that you would probably be dead already. Is it in the center of your chest or off to one side?
I think that's the pain, though I'm not perfectly sure. Most likely though...Originally posted by sonick182
YEah sometimes when i do that, it hurts my chest too (preacher curl). It goes away after awhile, i guess it was just improper form, i had my torso pushing against the cushion, and the weight was pushing down on it.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
