I'm not hungry most of the time. Plus I've been sickly. I'll try to eat each meal with a protein and fat combo each time.
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.
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.
high fat diets do satiate you better but you must eat..KarmaSutra said:I'm not hungry most of the time. Plus I've been sickly. I'll try to eat each meal with a protein and fat combo each time.
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.
I am so getting on your ass over this..KarmaSutra said:MEAL 1 - Eggs and bacon
meal 2 - jell-o cup INCOMPLETE MEAL
meal 3 - asparagus and mixed veggies INCOMPLETE MEAL
meal 4 - sausage and meat chili
meal 5 - spinach and butter INCOMPLETE MEAL
meal 6 - turkey slices
Feeling better :yes: I think this sh!t is finally getting out of my system.
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.
Hey Karma, I'm probably off on this...but I remember reading somewhere that McD's and BK add a lot of fillers to their beef. That filler could have bad carbs or something, that I don't know. I've always stayed away from it.KarmaSutra said:meal -3 - 2 Big Macs, 2 Dbl Cheeseburgers (no bread)

Thanks for the tip! :rockon:shaunuk said:Make sure you add a fat source to the protein shake, i.e. 3-4 eggs or 1-2 table spoons of olive oil
Keep up the hard work mate.

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.
