"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.

Hi. I am planning to go to a free walk-in std clinic. (1)Just wondering if that same time i go there, will they have results? or will i have to come back another time to see results. (2)when you test for an std, do they test for all stds and hiv, or just the specific std you ask for?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

The 'free' clinic I went to was $20+$20 for faster HIV testing results. They'll test you for everything. If you tell the Dr. that it burns when you pee or are having a discharge, s/he'll hook you up with meds that day. Otherwise, if you tell him/her that you have no symptoms of an STD, then you'll be told to call back in 2 weeks for your results. :cheer:

I use AIMs testing now, which gives me results in 3 days. However, it costs $120....

HIV, HPV & Herpes!

Not for free.

The free or cheap (~$20) screen generally only includes HIV, gonorrhea (clap), chlamydia and syphilis.

But, that only includes ONE of the 3 main ones you gotta watch out for - the 3 H's:
HIV, HPV & Herpes.

These are scary because they are VIRUSES and thus officially INCURABLE. Not to mention, HPV & herpes are extremely common and condoms don't fully protect against them.

HPV can't be tested for in men (unless you're showing symptoms) and the herpes test costs a few benjy's.

BOTTOMLINE is - a free screening is probably going to leave out 2/3 of the STDs you need to be MOST CONCERNED about. Don't think you're fully safe unless you read exactly what all STDs you were tested for.

REMEMBER to beware of the 3 H's!

Test for hepatitis C. This is one of the most under recognized STDs. Its uncurable, viral, and transmitable the same way as AIDs. It is also has the potential to be fatal. I am very suprised a lot of people dont test for this.
