"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.

Now, please don't flame me, I know I have been an idiot but in the past 6 months, three of the women I have slept with, I have done so without protection. Not on purpose, it just turned out like that and it is stupid and I normally use protection but there is nothing I can do about it now. I don't have any symptoms or anything but I have heard that you can pick up some things which are underlying in your system so I feel I should have a check-up to make sure that everything is ok.

Anyone here been for these tests? What do they do? Is it painful?
 

"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.

You should get tested regularly, I do every three months or every 10 girls, whichever comes first.

You're probably fine. The blood tests for HIV, gonnorhea and syphilis are easy. If you want to test for chlamydia, they stick a swab up your peehole. I don't recommend it. Unless it hurts to pee, then you probably don't have to worry about it.

As for HPV and it's millions of strains. There's no way to test or vaccinate men for HPV. They also cannot treat warts or herpes unless you have an outbreak. Genital warts and herpes can lay dormant in your system for months before an outbreak occurs, but when it does, it's fairly easy to treat.

Get tested anyway. It's a good idea. Also, be open and honest with the chicks you sleep with. If they're getting tested regularly too, having unprotected sex isn't the worst thing.

most tests are done by drawing blood and sending it off to a lab, or peeing in a cup and sending it off to a lab.
go get tested and after that make sure you protect yourself.
the endless worries will stop after that.
 

"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.
