I was eating dinner with this girl and she said this to me, almost posed as question. Does she know something or is she just fishing?
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 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.
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.
im not telling anyone, but I WILL post it on the internet.......MountainSlide said:Didn't kill anyone but some friends and I got into a bar fight when we were drunk and nearly killed this guy. I was charged for it and because I wouldn't give my friends up they gave me a lengthy sentence that landed me in federal prison for 5 years. Since being out, I've taken up university and am an honor student working on a science degree in my fourth year. But I definitely do have a secret past that I tell no one about, except anonymously on the internet.
BS if you are in the U.S. What were you crossing state lines while doing it? You would have been sent to state prison.MountainSlide said:Didn't kill anyone but some friends and I got into a bar fight when we were drunk and nearly killed this guy.

Not in the states, in Canada any sentence 2 years + is federal time. In Canada they don't really care about drug crimes that much but very strict on violence. Mostly I got screwed over by a bad lawyer and bad judge who was secretly on his death bed and had cancer, but trying to explain how I got such a long sentence is retarded because even people inside the jail were like wtf you got a massive sentence when there are people that have done way worse and gotten half the time. So basically I just got ****ed for no good reason. Even my P.O. thinks I should've gotten maybe 2 years.guru1000 said:BS if you are in the U.S. What were you crossing state lines while doing it?

But to acknowledge your original question, respond with a smirk, "Smart girl."
Minors take a far less offense than adults. Gotta keep that in mind.Ruler said:Some BS brother. Some dudes I know were in a gang known as "TDK" and were rolling with Ak-47's in their vehicle at my age. They were dealing coke, molly and weed got caught with all that plus the weapons under the age of 18. Got 2 years.

True that, I committed some offences when I was a minor that would've landed me jail time and instead I got probation and community serviceImTheDoubleGreatest! said:Minors take a far less offense than adults. Gotta keep that in mind.
Not sure how Canadian prisons are, but American prison's DO change you once you get it, if you get out that is.MountainSlide said:True that, I committed some offences when I was a minor that would've landed me jail time and instead I got probation and community service. Anyway, having committed crimes is nothing to brag about and I am ashamed of what I did and that's why I don't like to tell people about it, I guess I'm a bit of a coward in that regard.
