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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
haha, do you mix the eggs into the water? or do you let them poach?spesmilitis said:egg stew. Just throw some eggs into hot or boiling water. Add whatever herbs/spices/meats/veggies you want.
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.
Yes I've come to realize this. It would be good if you could help me out with food suggestions for my carb up days(Saturday).Warboss Alex said:wolf, if your allergies are so severe this is why you overtrain easily.
you have to cut out all wheat and dairy from your diet, period.
base your diet around meat, poultry, eggs, fish, vegetables and fruit and the appropriate oils.
I sure am, also oats, dairy and maybe gluten. So if I go out anywhere I have to cart stakes around with me. lol. There is seriously nothing for me to eat if I go on a holiday.spesmilitis said:I have a friend who developed an allergy to wheat when he was 19. Maybe you're in the same situation.
for your carb days I'd go with fruit, potatoes, and sweet potatoes as these are 'natural' carbs. wholegrain rice is also fairly inoffensive as far as allergic reactions go but you'll have to try it and seewolf116 said:Yes I've come to realize this.

Olive oil if fine. It's just the frying of oils.
thanks
