You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
Not accurate in the least.That's a great soundbyte. Only problem is, abortion isn't illegal.
Yup. Everyone who doesn't support him happily twists his words and take what he said out of context.Did you hear the actual quote? Where he said "ILLEGAL" abortions? You know, the ones against the law. Hmm... So breaking laws = getting punished? That doesn't make sense
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Try getting a LEGAL abortion anywhere in the USA after the first trimester and especially during the third trimester of pregnancy genius.Abortion is not illegal.
10 U.S. states have imposed certain restrictions in an effort to circumvent Roe, but make no mistake, a woman can abort in each of the 50 states.
"As it stands today, American women have the legal right to obtain an abortion in all 50 states, through all nine months of pregnancy, for virtually any reason at all. This has been true since the Supreme Court declared that autonomous abortion rights are built into the Constitution, and that legal barriers to abortion are unconstitutional. This ruling was arrived at on the premise that the 9th and 14th Amendments, according to legal precedent established during the 1960's, guarantees a woman's "right to privacy"—a right that extends even to abortion."

So don't make blanket statements that you need to back track on later.Why so touchy?
Only 3 states ban third trimester abortions.
You beat your chest and said ABORTION IS ILLEGAL!! I corrected you.
You're wrong.
If you had said, ABORTION IS ILLEGAL... AFTER A CERTAIN POINT...IN CERTAIN STATES, you would have been right.
There's a lot of gray area as to when a fetus is deemed 'viable'.
It's a debate worth having, but I'm saying that I believe a woman should be able to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants.
Save your amateur constitutional law blather for your agreeable unthinking friends.None of these illegal abortions would stand up if appealed to the SC.
Exactly. And referencing the original subject: More than likely Trump was thinking this when he made the statement re punishment for abortion . It just didn't come out sounding like it. There are times as of late that I wish Trump would just keep his mouth shut so more attacks on him can not be sparked. But overall he is human. Put any human being under the fire he has been under lately being you, me, Obama, any of the candidates, your momma, my momma, anyone... And I guarantee words may not come out perfectly, thoughts may not be fully articulated. Yes, sweat may even come out. Trump could say the exact words "The sky is blue" and it would be turned into "Tump said people who fly in planes in the sky are depressed blue people. Trump hates people who fly in airplanes".. I mean that's how foolish it's getting...SOME abortions are illegal....
Thus it is possible for women to get an abortion illegally....
Thus there should be consequences for breaking that law.
So now we red herring ('look over here - squirrel!') over to Supreme Court nominees.The #1 reason Liberals, and Libertarians, do not want Conservatives appointed to the court is because they don't want to risk Roe being overturned.
Even current Conservatives like Alito and Roberts will not overturn Roe, simply because it's been such a long-standing precedent.
I'm out.
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.
You did?I've made my position known.
The state determines what is and is not a capital crime. 'Lots of women' (or lots of anybody else) don't get to make that call.Who says it's murder to abort a fetus?
There are lots of women out there who would say their baby's life doesn't begin until it's outside the womb.
Excellent non-sequitur!A capital crime would have to be a crime committed against a human being.
Unborn babies, depending who ya talk to, are not human beings.
You cannot debate your opinion. It's nice you are pro choice. You do not run the place.I was just trying to leave room for the ongoing debate.
Unborn babies are not human beings.
Period.
Look dude. You and I won't agree on anything WRT abortion.
I am staunchly pro choice.
A woman gets to choose what happens with her body. Not the government.
You have no idea what my position on abortion is or is not. Go ahead, look back through what I've said here and tell me what I think about abortion.You pro lifers are insanely insane.
A bunch of old white guys trying to tell women what they can do with their bodies.
Have a nice day.
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.
