"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.

Here's a link to a Time interview with Giuliana DePandi, co-anchor of E! News. She says that women should think like men and to do things including not taking his phone number, not airing dirty laundry and staying away from the "L" word (no, not Lasagna).

Take a look at it and post your comments. I think that there are some interesting (intriguing) points.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

And the L-word? You advise letting him use that one first.

Yes. I think a guy should tell a girl he loves her first. I've heard so many stories of girls dropping the L-bomb first, and it just catches a guy off guard. He's uncomfortable. You never want to say to a guy, "I love you," and he says, "thanks." Just hold out. If you guys fall in love, he will tell you he loves you eventually.
Funny how most men follow the same rule. In my last LTR, I didn't say it for about 4 months when she finally broke down and said it first :D

I don't think women have the balls to hold out on the L word longer than the most AFC of men.

I have to agree with you there. There are the instances however, when after bumping uglies the guy thinks the sex was the best in the entire universe and drops the "L" bomb... :nervous:

Or the other way around where the guy says he loves her just to get her in the sack hehe

Hey, some guys need to use the heavy artillery a bit more quickly than others.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
