"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Riiiiiight

There have already been a bunch of tweets deleted where people in Paris said it was intentional. And it's not like people haven't tried to set it on fire before.

If thats really the result of an islamist attack, that will backfire so much any intention of macron to look tough abroad when he cant even defend one of the symbols of his country.

Happens all the time with restoration work, also the quality of the personel is diminishing because no one is educating the youth to do manual work and BE GOOD at their work.

If twitter, facebook, social media are removing messages.... well they passed laws and systems this year to monitor what people post. So if you promoting hate or not in line with their ''corporate scope'' you get removed. That's why facebook been closing down right wing accounts.

It sucks for Notre-Dame-De-Paris, I was there last year... the Cathedral will survive, the damage is limited to the material inside and the roof, the structure is said to be fine. They will repair.
 

"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 have my doubts. The passion which built the cathedral hasn't existed in decades and the Holy See shows no interest in bringing it back. Look at what passes for a Catholic church now and you see what quality the Vatican is capable of demanding in its structures.
