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.
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 got ripped off while you were trying to defraud others.Originally posted by WillieSacks
There is a way out of it. We are the victim's.....I'll follow up on it later.
Notice he still doesn't explain why people are loading computers, flat panel TVs, and other electronics equipment into his vehicle out of the kindness of their hearts, free of charge.Originally posted by WillieSacks
$2000, yeah right. I wish. That's a bit pricey.
Apparently you didn't read what I posted.Originally posted by WillieSacks

The thing is, you aren't the victim here. You and him were co-conspirators in an attempt to defraud a banking institution. There's no way you can claim otherwise.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Well you see, my friend said he would put $5000 into both my girlfriends bank account as well as my own. I didn't have to do anything for it, just give him a percentage. Then when I found out that I couldn't in fact get thousands of dollars for free, and the bank tried to get the money back from me, I realized that he was lying and was actually trying to scam me.Originally posted by whistler
You're biggest lesson will come when you try explain your innocence to the FBI.
you are so far from the truth it's not even funny. He was saying we should do that. I just laughed it off. I don't have any flat panel tv's or computers in my household and I have a car, a 24 inch TV in a box won't even fit in my car let alone a flat panel. Keep guessing though.Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova

Were you lying then or are you lying now? You claimed that you "knew people" who gave you flat panel TVs and computers free. I'm not the only person who say you say that.Originally posted by WillieSacks

No, you BOTH attempted to defraud the bank. You even knew as much, because, as you said, part of the scheme involved paying off a fraud investigator.Like I said, there is a way out of it. We are the victims....I already talked to my attorney and he gave me 2 options. When it's all said and done with, I'll tell you guys what happened. We didn't defraud the bank, the scam artist, who avoided me for a month and changed his number (which he doesn't know I have the new one) defrauded the bank. His face is on camera entering money in my account..I've said enough. I'll let you guys know what happened when it's all said and done. Everyone has their own opinions so I'm not mad at you guys but you'll see in the end what happens.
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.
Willy and his girlfriend basically entered into an arrangement with a con-artist where the con artist would help him scam $10,000 out of a bank in exchange for a certain cut of the scammed money, and a certain amount would supposedly go to a fraud officer to cover their tracks. Only the problem was that the con artist took his cut of the money and left Willy and his girl holding the bag. And now the bank wants the $10,000 that Willy and his girlfriend were trying to scam from them.Originally posted by BrWnSugaMan
i didn't get to see the original post before it got deleted. can some1 summarize for me plz?
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.
You're full of sh*t. Not everybody saw what you wrote, but a lot of people did. Why do you keep lying?Originally posted by WillieSacks
Naw bro. Nothing like that. We thought he was putting checks into our accounts. Why do you keep bringing the part up about flat panel tv's and computers. I don't have any flat panel tv's or computers. I already told you that.
What the hell is your problem??? Chill the fukk out. You keep taking $hit out of context. How many times do I have to say I don't have any flat panel tv's or computers, I have 1 24 inch tv and a dvd recorder. You're trying to get me in trouble. I deleted the post on the messageboard because I was advised to. If this is going to court, then why would I have all that info on a messageboard if it can come back and bite me in the @ss somehow. I'm not going to get into a back and forth with you.Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova

Willie, I strongly recommend that you delete this post and try to wipe your ip-adress log. Most likely our new Power-Trippin 'Morally Right' Vigilante Gio will turn you in to the Feds.
Also, do not answer his question. He only wants you to confess.
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.
