Master Don Juan
Bible Worthy, if it ain't there already
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.
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.
... VERY TRUE!!!i think your missed out on your FAMILY wanting you to be an AFC as well
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.

I got some NEW ISSUES with my mom tho. Now, she thinks I'm "disrespectful" just because I talk to everyone (including her friends who range from people in late 20s to late 50s) as if I was at their level. For f*ck's sake!!! I AM 20 YEARS OLD!!! I AM A FRIGGIN ADULT!!!
"Some people here... just because they are 20 years old, they refuse to say "po" and "opo" or bless or call em "tito" or "tita"you should be getting out there and talking to older people and be at their level..
