She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
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.
This story is probably one of the better ones told throughout history. Post bible of course.Epimanes said:The 2nd hobbit movie was geared to be 3d. 2d just won't cut it. The barrel ride was epic and so was the dragon. Gandolphs costume in the beginning made him look like he had too much makeup on though.
Overall. Very entertaining. Worth the see in the theatre in 3D
Do you like the Hunger Games series?LiveFreeX said:I'd like to know why everyone likes these movies, when I read the books, I had a completely different universe imagined... I kinda wish george lucas had done the LOTR movies instead. I felt that Willow and Krull (different director) were closer to the worlds I imagined and more fast paced. Peter Jackson's movies seem to crawl along at a snail's pace. The only redeeming quality is Smeagle... otherwise I find the series almost completely unwatchable. This is supposed to be high fantasy, not a trip to the library.
