Sup. How do you guys get your money to buy stuff, besides getting a job? For some reason, my mom forbade me from getting a part time job, which is pretty bs, and I can't think of any other way to get money. Any suggestions? Thx.
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.
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.
Lol, so did mine. She nagged me for months. Now I got a group interview this week and I must say I'm glad she nagged me because having a job has basically no downsides and I can't wait to start earning myself some money. My parents have never payed me an allowance because I don't do many chores around the house, but I hardly used to buy anything so it didn't really matter. But now I need money for new clothes since I want to improve my style, plus I'm finishing HS so I need money to pay for Uni, and for when I move out etc...Originally posted by skinnydart
you're not allowed to get a job?! My mom forced me to get one.
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.
