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.
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'm not naming names,they know who they are. I just received an PM from one who claims they are twice my size and twice as defined at 16 years old......If that were true they would be bodybuilding! He claims he did it off of push ups and sit ups only......Drum&Bass said:who are these people that are claiming to be huge ?
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Well, why can't you just go to sandwich shops a few times a day while you're at school? Go there and get big sandwiches, or (meat) salad boxes, or baked potatoes with toppings, etc?My problems with my diet lie within me mainly. Granted, I am saving money for a car, and I do have a few bills to pay, but I usually let my mom do the shopping. I just never set aside time to get my sh*t together.
I just started flax oil too and bought the pills. Someone at my gym said the pills dont workEspi said:]
I take whey, a multi, C, flax oil, and, when I'm not cycling steroids, creatine.
Hm, well, from what I've heard, pills are ok, but you have to take a lot of pills to get the same amount of flax in 2 table spoons of flax oil. 8-9 of pills for each tbsp, so you'd need about 19 pills if you're wanting to take 2tbsps like a lot of people. The oil probably works out cheaperI just started flax oil too and bought the pills. Someone at my gym said the pills dont work Im not sure if thats true but I hate gym rumours like that and hope they do!
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.
I am curious whether you noticed any side effects or ill health from using them?Espi said:RE steroids: there's no doubt in my mind that natural results would pale in comparion to my using steroids. I've cycled 4 times, and after each cycle, I usually end up keeping about 5-8 lbs. of solid muscle...doesn't sound like a lot, but it is...you really notice it after the cycle's ended and the water retention dissapears...

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
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.
