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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
Quite so.skip the pimp said:ummm that site looks very fake and unprofessional
Is that Demon?Derek Flint said:Maybe "Mr know it all" can audition.
He's in San Diego, and he knows it all.
He's also a Marine, a Scholar, a future Lawyer and an all around he-man.
He also spends many of his posts trying to validate himself to a forum full of self-proclaimed virgins, all the while calling the same people he is trying to impress "Fags" so he is quite the interesting guy.
He also gets lots of dates by handing out his phone number, so he should be a shoo-in.
Since he constantly talks about how the forum is full of KJ's, and he's the real deal who's willing to back up his big talk, then he should audition.
I nominate you, Mr. Know It All, to audtion for this show, so everyone can see how cool you are.
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.
Don't know. I believe he has been banned before posting under other names though.Zero Hero said:Is that Demon?
