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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Would have, and it was a pretty certain bet in my mind anyways!Originally posted by Lost In Translation
Champion mare Makybe Diva has made history by becoming the first horse to win three Melbourne Cups with a stunning victory at Flemington racecourse.
Hope you bet the farm CLOONEY
You would have cleaned up

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.
hahahaha, yeah it was like that down there. I actually nearly got into a fight down there, haha, some dude poured water on my back, just a little so I told him what the hell is he doing. Then when I turned around, he poured more on my back, hahaha, so I started swearing at him and he pizzed off! I know the dude from boxing years back, nothing changed with him, still a trouble causing drunk bum! After that, him and his bum mates tried fighting some local indian guys. haha, man some people have sad lives!Originally posted by Lost In Translation

yeah i bet you felt paranoid collecting the $400
the TAB on Melbourne Cup day reminds me of the movie : THE WARRIORS
you go to a big gang meeting ( TAB )
lots of gang members there
now after you win you gotta make it from the TAB window to your car without getting rolled for the money
just like the warriors had to make it back to coney island without getting killed

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.
lol, never seen that movie. Na, when I went back to collect my money, everyone was gone, only a few others there to collect their money, some young dudes bout 18 with their beers in their hands, obviously drunk from the days celebrations, but they were fine.Originally posted by Lost In Translation

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.
I am going too. Klit to win, not by KO, just win in any manner. Probably wont pay too good odds, but still easy money! Rahman has no chance except one big punch, and Klit never been stopped in boxing. And that is including taking some lethal uppercuts by Lewis!Originally posted by [DoN.2.Da.JUaN]
you should bet your 400 on the boxing now![]()
