"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.

Okay guys, I'm almost 33 and need advice on some nice clothes. Don't have much money but I need the following. Can you suggest some stores? I live in a small city so I don't have all the stores here, it would have to be three hour drive or online.

Black Dress shoes I can wear under nice jeans, interviews, etc. and are for wide feet. Brands? Stores?
Dress jeans for going out and casual jeans for everyday wear. Stores?
Casual sneaker shoes. Diesel? Asics? What color? Brown? White?
Going out shirts? Can't put 150 bucks into them. Maybe sixty or eighty bucks. For clubbing, drinks, and "non-work" type gatherings, maybe even dates when I start dating again.
Sweaters and Hoodies for winter. I used to wear stuff like American Eagle and Tommy Hilfiger for causal stuff like this on top of jeans. Still ok to do that?
I have a nice suit, I have workout clothes, I have hoodies with like sports teams. I have very nice winter jackets and coats. I am looking for a look that will be nice to have a drink in when I go out, but also casual clothes I can wear when I go do something during the day. My biggest problem is shoes and jeans. Any advice....Thanks..
I'm not skinny nor fat. I have big ass hips so I can't wear slim jeans, I have wide feet. I have a little bit of belly so I need shirts that are not too tight but not too loose.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Depends on build and preference. Living in Boston for a while and frequenting the night life there, I would spot the button ups from express. Those are reasonably priced when they are having deals. I also have jeans from there. As for shoes, I just get generic black ones for cheap. Diesel is expensive, so I am not sure what you hope to accomplish on a budget. I also wear gongshow shirts near a younger crowd. Wish list would be affliction tee shirts.

Keep an eye out on Overstock.com. After being unsure about the idea I decided even if buying clothes from there didn't work out I wouldn't be out much money. I've gotten a suit, some dress shoes and shirts, ties etc. I've had to get the suit tailored but that's expected.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

I'm sure there's a fashion outlet mall somewhere near you. Be prepared to show up early the day after Thanksgiving next month. There will be insane discounts at some great stores.

the days after Xmas are when I get most of my good shirts and jeans. If outlets have not made profits, they want want to unload extra inventory at really low prices.

Tis the season!
