"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Interesting trend so far: seem more people have _negative_ experience with online dating sites: which is very understandable: the sites are interested in people who use them and pay them for the use. And who will use them?
Right, the people who didn't find any matches...

Seems onling dating sites are interested in the situation when customers do not find any decent matches.

My comments:

Match - Good selection of women, but the user features are horrible. They let other people know you've looked at them, you can't easily contact people with your profile hidden, and they make it difficult to cancel your account. And no IM.

Yahoo - Not as great a selection as match, but can easily contact people while hidden, plus IM

American Singles - Horrible selection. Never bothered trying that out.

For you DJs that are cheap, er... unsure of the pay sites, WebDate.com is a decent alternative.

Thus small poll shows dissatisfaction with onling dating in general. Sad.
 

"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.

Actually, my preferred method for meeting girls is online. I do really well with it. It has hurt my cold approaches though since I can still get laid without doing any.
