P.S. Whistler, yes we know. But it's HIGHLY unlikely.
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.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I was flaming Geo... so now you are calling Geo a woman!
Which is accruate since he's taking it in the ass like a b!tch for that whoring sow he's marrying.
Cheers beotch!
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.
Since I've never tried it with her on the shot, I wouldn't know yet...It would all depend on the moment.Originally posted by seabreeze
"I'll stick to the rubber raincoat unless the shot is taken."
That makes sense, Eternal. But you keep it in after the shot don't you? The shot is the same as BC pills.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
i did the shot back in 94. i got three shots and i bled every day for nine months and got off it. i was tired and lost down to 80 lbs and was so moody.Originally posted by Eternal

There hasn't been anything on the news about it. I would think if they decide to take it off the market it will be big news -- like front page USA Today and Wall Street Journal type stuff.Originally posted by penkitten
im not sure if they really took it off the market or not, if anyone hears let me know.
hmm it was a resident that told me , she said her daughter who is in med school told her . i dunnoOriginally posted by Giovanni Casanova

Lots of girls are on the shot though, I would hope they wouldn't keep it a secret if they decided they shouldn't take it anymore.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yeah, I don't know about the shot stuff and the other 4 period pill. My doctor tried to get me to do the patch, but I said no. I've heard of too many side effects from them too. I said the most I'd do was a low hormone dosage pill. She said it would do the trick. I was nervous as hell cuz it's the first time I've been on them since about 16 years ago. And I was only on them for about six months then.
So, I've been using the pull out method for all of these years until now. But, the pill just seemed like the most responsible choice for me right now.
Damn good discussion!
