"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I hate getting this:

Warning: mysql_connect(): User so2suave_sosuave has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /home/so2suave/public_html/forum/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

It happens quite often. It pisses me off when I write a post, hit "post reply" and this piece of **** comes up. What the hell is going on?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Me think's people are opening like 20 windows at a time so they don't lose their train of thought about what they want to read.

I posted this error as well.

Hope yours gets more publicity.

this is the second thread in a week about this, so its got to be getting worse.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

What is the deal with it. It hadn't really come up until a few weeks ago, and now I get it occasionally. It is kind of frustrating when you type a long post and that thing pops up and you lose what you were wroking on.

**** 5 minutes to open the thread another two to actually post it

BUMP!!!

please will mod notice this thread... *clicks report post to moderator*
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Nothing we can do about it. We talked to Allen and got the "I'll look into it," reply. Good enough for us. If it gets much worse, I'm sure he'll do something like he did last time. Remember when you had to wait 10 minutes for it to load?

Yeah I've been through that... well tell Allen that it is a regular basis, it occurs multiple times throughout the day.

It is not OUR internet connections, it's not specific to any time of day, and it's not dependant upon how many people are online :)

Don't take me wrong I love this site, and I still have hundreds if not thousands of threads that I still want to read, but damnit that I am writing a post or searching for posts and get up from the computer to come back and forget which post I was looking for.
 

"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.

Do not abuse the "Report this post to a moderator" button! Repeat violations will result in disciplinary action!

The administrator is aware of the problem and looking at options for eliminating it that don't involve advertisements or fees like other sites have.
