"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Went away for a weekend snowboarding trip. Got back yesterday around 2PM and wanted some company for the football games. Texted Girl #1 and asked her if she wanted to watch with me. She says maybe...she's gonna be having lunch with a friend in my neighborhood anyway and will call me after she gets done.

This is a lockdown tactic and I know it...she isn't sure if she wants to come over, but if she DOES decide she wants to come over, she wants me to be there waiting for her.

It gets to about halftime of the GB/CHI game and no call. "Lunch" must've gone well. If I don't have any other options, I get frustrated and feel like a clowned chump waiting for her to give me a call.

Instead, I send Girl #1 a text..."I'm gonna just go over a friend's and watch the game. Sorry we couldn't hook up...I'll get with you later this week." Then I send a text to Girl #2..."What're you doing for the game? Do you wanna come watch with me?"

Girl #2 came. And then she came. And then she came again. ;)

And if Girl #1's lunch-date turns out to be a creepy AFC with a small pen!s, I left the door open for her...none of this, "OMG I cannot be disrespected!! NEXT!!" crap. I have no intention of calling her back now, but likely I'll get a mid-week text from her...that's her MO. :p

"So what if Girl #2 flakes too?"

Then I either stay home or go to the bar and watch the games by myself. After Girl #2 gave me an awesome BJ, we went out to a bar to watch the second half anyway and there were a couple of cuties across the bar that I could've talked to if I was alone.

The point is they're just girls...and one can be replaced as quickly as another. That is until you find one for your so-called "relationship"...but then you'll screen her carefully enough that she won't do anything that merits replacing.

Will she? ;)
 

"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.

Both these girls are PoF material. I need to get back into "the field". Just haven't had a lot of time for drinkin' lately. :p

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.
