"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.

Question about Scotch

Guest
I had a drink of Scotch last night for the first time at my relative Boxing Day party. It was Johnny Walker Red Label and it was mixed with water.

My question is, what is the best way to mix scotch? Do people just have it on ice, or do they mix it with other stuff?
 

"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.

Most people drink good Scotch neat or on ice. If you really want to get a feel for what the drink is like, then sip it neat (no ice). If it's still a little too harsh for you, you can add a few drops of water to mellow it out a little bit.

Alternatively, if you enjoy ****tails you could try making something like a Rob Roy (basically a Manhattan with Scotch instead of rye), or experiment with other whisk(e)y ****tails and sub in Scotch for the bourbon, rye, etc. that they may call for.

Scotch is one of those rare treats we don't have the capacity to appreciate or understand until you've gone through quite a bit of other whisk(e)y's.

I had my introduction to it at my brother's wedding reception. I had stopped counting after 27 Jack and Diet Coke's when my brother's Father-in-law wrapped his arms around me and dragged me to the bar where he pulled (what I came to realize afterwards) a beautiful bottle of Glenfiddich. He and I drank the entire fvcking thing right there.

It was after that morning when I began my love affair with Scotch. Matching various Scotch straight malts and blends with my educated palate of fine cigars has been a passion.

So far, Cutty Sark ( with a splash of cold water ) and Rocky Patel Edge Battalion are a nice couple. Chivas (neat. In a cold glass) and the CAO MX2 are my two favorites for the moment.

Try different combinations and let me know so I can experience other flavors.
 

"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.

Or if you're like me, and cant stand cheap scotch, I've found goes good with rootbeer. Sounds weird though.

If you ever get the chance to sample some Johnny Walker Blue for free or cheap, TAKE IT! It is absolutely AMAZING, no matter how you drink it. Of course it's 2-3 hundred dollars a bottle, and 40-60$ a shot in a bar though.

Abso-fricking-lutely.

I was in the Johannesburg airport last month and they had Johnny Blue for something like 100 Rand (~$10). I got shyte-faced that afternoon. Also, they had Johnny Blue for the same price at the hotel I stayed at in Lesotho. I'm not a big scotch drinker, but Johnny Blue is absolutely fantastic.

I drink it with a rock or two.

This man knows what he's talking about. Blue Label JW is awesome. It's like finding money if someone offers you some. I have a few bottles from clients hidden away for later consumption, and if you ever get your hands on some do the same.
