"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I plan to watch MTV so my lawyer declares me mentally unfit to stand trial.

I've seen it, unfortunately. For some reason, I knew this topic would come up on here.

I think there is a super slim chance that the two friends would start dating after the "secret" is revealed. I just don't see it happening. If the two friends are very shy, maybe it could happen. The one and a half episodes I saw were kinda sad because you could tell nothing was going to happen between the two friends.

People still watch MTV?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hah.. I was actually at my mother's house visiting a while ago. I don't have cable at my own apartment so I figured I'd watch some TV for a while before my friends came to pick me up to go out.

I was browsing through channels and the name of the show caught my eye (especially after posting on this board). This show seems so ridiculously fake. Every guy who I saw on the show was AFC down to the nuts and bolts.

The way the producers set it up, the kid who has the crush is made to seem incredibly creepy and insecure. This show just seems like a temporary solution to common day AFC problems. After viewing, the AFC viewer might think "Well, one day it'll work out for me just like it did for him!" and he doesn't feel sad anymore.

MTV never really produced anything great to me.. Besides Headbanger's Ball, Beavis and Butthead, Daria, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.
