"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.

now discuss the effects of smoking;

im quite sure there are few, if any long term benefits of smoking.

but exactly how harmful is smoking in the short/long term? im talking about in moderation, such as social smoking. not a habit or an addiction
 

"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.

Let's see, bad breath, you stink, yellow teeth, car stinks, house stinks just new name a few.

Long term - emphysema and lung cancer...oh yeah, elevated blood pressure.

I finally kicked the habit about eight months ago after almost smoking for twenty years. I really fvcked myself. I started when I was thirteen and thought it was cool. There are two things in life I regret and one of them is smoking.

DON'T START!!! Not even the one here and one there... It leads to a pack or two a day. It's fvcking stupid for anyone to start smoking. Absolutley no reason for anyone on this planet to smoke!

it gets very expensive, at least in the US, and the next time your localities face a budget crunch, they'll probably raise "sin taxes" again.

nicotine is strongly habit forming. as is the oral fixation. many social smokers are addicts in denial.

do you find women who smoke attractive?
