"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.

Gents and other creatures,

I have been enjoying myself over in the fitness section, highly recommend it :D Good guys over there. To the core matter of my post, I got a girl pregnant. We have been in an open relationship and riding bareback, things happen. You're welcome to rant. I'm not writing this post to take a rant about my choices but just let people know what I did so they have somewhere to start. First talk of pregnancy was when the condom was about to come off. I asked what she thought and of the consequences. We both agreed to deal with pregnancy with abortion and STD's in a rational manner. I got a text last nite saying we need to talk. Talk is good gents, trust me. I rang her and asked what about. Took her a bit and she said she was pregnant. I said this was a subject that required a talk and walk. I met her and we talked about her test and what she had already done. She had seen family planning and had a test by a doc. Doc said she was pregnant and seven weeks along. This explained why she felt sick and some of her grumpiness. I asked her about her abortion options with how far she had been along and timeframes. I listened to this and the rest of the story and gave my input on what I needed to. She has another appointment next Tuesday.

So that's the story so far. She didn't react badly or very emotionally as I didn't either. What I have learned so far is this is our problem not just her problem. We made a choice and we will go through this together. When you hear "I'm pregnant" it's not the end of the world. Remain calm. See her in person and talk about it in a rational manner. Keep your emotions as far away as possible. She wanted trust, and someone to look after her. This one of the big steps towards growing up as I am now responsible for someone else in a much bigger scale. Be a nice guy, throw any pick up **** out the window and fess up. It's my turn to grow up and be responsible.

I may add more to try and make a whole picture for the folks of the forum.

Good nite,
The Bandito
 

"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.

Consider:

1. How do you know it's yours?

2. Have you actually seen the test results?

3. Abortion really messes up a girl's head. Adoption might cause regret later on, especially if the kid comes looking for you. Hard choices indeed.

I want you to explain what you mean by be a nice guy, throw any pick up **** out the window and fess up.


What does that mean?

If you are an adult taking care of yourself you are already grown up and responsible. You are just taking on more responsiblity. That shaming language implies that you weren't before. Do you believe that you were a child and irresponsible before this pregnancy?


btw. I am a father, so I may have a slightly different view on this, which is why I ask.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

I was running around **** in hand doing as I pleased. I really didn't think as to the consequences of my actions. We know many "adults" that live by themselves, aren't bankrupt, and have a missus but are they mature?

Some lyrics for you (these are actual real lyrics. The band's name is AC, which is short for two words that would get censored here. The name of the song is "You're pregnant, so I kicked you in the stomach":

There were no stairs to throw you down
There was no roof to throw you off
There were no coat hangers around
So I kicked you in the stomach



I'm sorry, I think this sh*t is funny, so I probably have a sick sense of humor haha.
