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.
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.
not likely. the current MLB policy is if someone gets caught for steroids 5 times they get suspended for a year.Originally posted by Broham
Hopefully he handles it correctly and bans this guy for at least a season and cracks down on testing.
But the Yankees can void his contract.Originally posted by high nrg

thats what i heard on hte radio this morning
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
That's probably true. I worked with college baseball players a couple years ago and about 1/2 to 3/4 of them used steroids.Originally posted by MindOverMatter
What's new, almost EVERY pro athlete uses them. If you're gonna start baning them for it, may as well shut down the whole league.
/yawn
Are we going to find out that Barry Bonds used steroids as well?Originally posted by Eternal
Ok, if you haven't heard, Jason Giambi admitted to a Balco jury that he used steroids provided to him by Barry Bond's trainer.
Any thoughts?

Breaking news...Bonds just admitted to a grand jury that he "unknowingly" took steriods that his trainer provided him with.
Looks to me like an attempt to save face before all the accusations went his way.

What the fvck does that have to do with this?Originally posted by Derek Flint
Just last week pretty much everyone here thought how great it was that Ron Artest was a thug, but now, steroids are such a bad thing.
We're talking about high-profile, professional athletes and their behavior, that's what that has to do with this.Originally posted by il_duce

You are the master of taking things out of context.
You're an idiot. Bonds CHEATED. Now, I don't care if anybody takes steroids away from a sport, do what you want, but he cheated and screwed it up for the clean players, fans, everyone. Artest was disrespected and went after some street revenge...what Artest did has nothing to do with the sport itself.Originally posted by Derek Flint

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.
Your over 5000-post count with 4.5 posts per day gives me a tought your always-so-dear-little girlfriend of yours should take you to a walk outside sometime. You must be pale as snowman in a freezer.Originally posted by Eternal

Dude, what Artest did was far worse than what Bonds allegedly did.Originally posted by One on One
