My condolences, just heard this on the news here in NY at 6:21 pm, June 25th, 2009.
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.
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.
For fvcks sake man! Show some respect!!!Wiesman44 said:Dear Michael:
If only I could have spent one more endless night in your arms.

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.
I'm glad to know that you wouldn't kick a television superstar out of bed, I'm sure it's something you confront on a regular basis, whether to "hit" a celbrity or not. But I am relieved that you WOULD hit one of the most famous sex symbols of all time, if you absolutely had to.piranha45 said:I dunno about that farrah fawcett, maybe its something you had to live through to understand, but im not impressed with this:

im not saying i wouldnt hit that, but jesus there were way better shots of better women than that, back then.

Yeah, he was defintely a weird dude. The mask, glove, and the intense plastic surgery(which is actually debateable, supposedly it was rumored that he had some kind of disease that turns the skin white, that is prone to black people) was bit strange, but as far as the child molestation accusations, I can't say he did or didn't do it. I wasn't there, so I'm not going to point fingers. Anyhow, even though I never got into his music(except "Black or White", very catchy tune), I must say he was an incredible artist with a tremendous amount of talent. Awesome stage presence. And don't forget guys, regardless of his weird tendencies and the plastic surgery that made him look scary, the guy did pull Lisa-Marie Presley, a fine piece of ass. More proof that hot women will over-look a lot of things with men. Yeah, the guy was classified as "King of Pop", but she could've latched onto another guy almost equally as popular or wealthy, who on top of it was normal.DJDamage said:He was a great performer in the 80's but he was also a messed up and disturbed human being.
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.
