"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 nephew just got out of a long distance relationship. I warned them that in my experience they never work out.

At this moment, i know of at least 3 couples currently in long distance relationships. It seems like in the past few years, i am seeing more of these than ever before. I know how it all starts given how connected we are nowadays, but it still seems like a recipe for disaster unless you are in it for a free place to stay and a few weekend lays. I had a few of them in the past, they were fun but unless someone moves they aren't going to work out.. ever.

Are you seeing alot of these or is it just in my circle of friends?
 

"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.

I can't find any hard statistics that say that long distance is increasing, but it seems like a reasonable conclusion.

Long distance is an extremely difficult path. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Yes agreed that it isnt a good choice and I wouldn’t recommend

My nephew got into one due to a mutual friend of his. The woman he dated grew up in the same state as him and had alot of similarities.

Some of the other long distance relationships involve cases where both people are recently divorced

Other situations i know of are cases where both people are of the same cultural minority.

I know a few cases of Chinese couples who are married but their spouse lives in another state or country

A long-distance relationship is better than having parasocial realtionships from content creators on youtube or elsewhere. (When you can exchange videos, pictures, and have real-time streaming experience, or if they also have a VR-headset and you can do things and watch things together in cyberspace then I don't think in person interaction is as necessary.)

Yeah you have to figure that's coming next. Men will use it to get off and women will get the tingles from it and fall hopelessly for some guy they will never meet.
 

"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 honestly at one time lack of minutes and long distance charges were enough to probably discourage some long distance relationships.
