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.
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.
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.
This is where I'm at, I think the older you get the less you need alcohol to 'loosen up' and relax. Also, I find that anything more than a drink or two numbs the whole experience...an experience that I want to savor and enjoy to the fullest.joekerr31 said:inhibits it for me. if im loaded i can get it up, but i feel about 5% of what i normally would.
im one of those guys that when i get drunk i get really relaxed and ultimately jsut wnt to sleep.

I hate that feeling when you just meet a girl, and you've been doing well with her all night long, then at the end, you blow your load 5 minutes into the whole thing.
I love that phone call the next day.
Her: OMG, my stomach hurts
Me: You been throwing up or something? Hungover?
Her: No.. it hurts because of you!!!
Me: Me?? What the hell did I do?
Her: You know what you did... Well, what WE did. You left bruises all over my ass too
Me: My bad... I get a little carried away when I get excited sometimes... I'll try not to next time around
Her: Oh no... don't think I'm complaining. I enjoyed it all.
True story...
WE call it "Boozer's droop" or "Brewer's droop" down here.STR8UP said:A little hooch will loosen you up. A lot of hooch will fukk you up. Nobody wants whisky d!ck.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Frank you are not curious - you posted this question because you are thinking about lubricating HER to increase your chances of banging her..Frank2500 said:Out of curiosity folks, what do you guys think? Does drinking alcohol before sex improve or inhibit one's stamina/sexual performance?
