"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.

Only one more day until the finale! Lost starts at 8pm tomorrow night and runs for 3 straight hours. The first hour is basically a synopsis of what has happened so far and then the two hour finale. I'm going to watch Lost instead of American Idol. All the performances will end up on YouTube anyhow...and I can find out who wins online when Lost is over.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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 just watched the episode again and it is a white guy. I think he looks a tad like Kristophersons' Whistler in Blade II.

I think that Jacob is able to manifest himself as the black smoke prowling the jungle. Remember, Locke was the first to stare down the black smoke and go away unscathed. That is why Locke has become the chosen one.
maybe hes a shape shifter?
the show seems to keep saying that the black smoke is a security system that feeds off your fears and insecurities. however i just don't think i can buy that.
if jacob was a shape shifter and could shift into that black smoke, i think i could buy it alot easier.

now whats your take on the "other" others down in that looking glass?
everyone thinks they are dharma, but not me. the blonde chick looks too young to be dharma leftovers.

The Looking Glass isn't really flooded, though...or people wouldn't be down there. I think Ben lied to Juliet...and I think the ones in there are loyal to Ben.

I think this is true. If you look close the women in the Looking Glass station strongly resemble the women giving Locke the googlie eyes when he joined them on thier trek to the camp.

what do you think about nadia popping up in la for locke to inspect her home and now in charlies flashback as getting mugged in the alley where he stopped it and became her hero?
is it just common connections or does it seem strange that she is in alot of different places alot. is there going to be a bigger story for her?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she comes into the story in a bigger way (maybe even onto the island) next season.

Ha...the last episode of the last season will probably be called "Foot Loose" and it will be revealed that all the Losties are connected via that game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon...hehe.

I think Nadia will be a big surprise later on. That red herring is going to be a doozie . . .

I found a spoiler site for Lost that I checked out that have been right about every episode...so they are reliable. I'm not going to spoil anything about the finale...but I'm going to say this...the finale is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! Something HUGE is going to happen...and a MAJOR mystery will be answered. It's going to be an AWESOME show!

The writers were caught completely by surprise when the series was a success and now have no freaking clue what to do. They are currently using a dartboard to create stories, but a system based on weather reports from Tibet is entering a beta test phase.

At least that's the story I heard.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

They actually always knew the basic plot they were going to have...and they just add things to it. The series is going to end in 2010, though...and there will be 16 episodes each season left.

They have a special answers episode recap coming on at 8pm ... 9 minutes for me...woo hoo!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

the flash forward ruined it for me. i wasnt ready to know that they got off the island, since it hasnt happened yet.
my favorite part was when i was yelling at the screen for someone to shoot tom in the head, sawyer shot him right that second!

part i hated the most, when sayid and jin were willing to die in order to do what had to be done, and then bernard is over there telling it all. jin is telling him "no talk" and im over here screaming at the tv "just shoot the tattle tale!"
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
