"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.

"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.

The apartment complex cleared the parking lot as much as possible, but I had to dig out my car - and I learned why there are so many stories of men getting a heart attack while shoveling snow - I couldn't believe how much that activity ramped up the cardiac rate!

Canada right?
"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.

Yes, while I'm in Canada, we are actually south of some contintental US states (ie like North Dakota is north from me), but overall Michigan is to the west of us, and New York State is to the East if I was to talk in a hypothetical straight line in either direction. Southern Ontario just dips far down south. Buffalo is not a neighbour, but it is less than a 2 hour drive from here. It's is closer to drive to the States than it is to another province.

Isn't there some big nuclear power plant in that area? I seem to remember this when I once drove from Windsor to Montréal.

Yes, in Pickering, Ontario. However, its quite a distance from where I'm situated. It is going to shut down this decade. I did walk around the boardwalk near the plant in 2014 with my family and ex-wife. Have not been by those parts since. Have some family in Pickering.
