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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Me to, what about you though?penkitten said:my husband loves them both.
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 World = Forums
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report = Trolls
Funny how everyone likes Jon and Steven, but people here hate Angelus and Princess Jo. Its just something to consider.
Funny you should say that, seeing as both shows have basically the same producers and writers. One of those producers being Jon Stewart himself.Bling said:Colbert is funny, whereas Jon Stewart is a moron and really knows how to spin more than Rush Limbaugh.
Hell no they are not trolls. Do you even know what a troll is? Jon and Stephen simply take existing news and exploit the stupidness of those involved. They don't make up news stories to scare people or get them riled up, etc. It is simply satire. If you are looking for a true troll try watching the O'Reilly Factor.Ace of Flames said:You know, I just figured this out:

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.
And hate working families.Potbelly said:Colbert for President, and if you don't vote for him you're a terrorist.
What do these guys have to do with Michael Moore?:crazy:ValleyDJing said:I hate both of those douche bags! :moon: While I'm at it Michael Moore too!
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
