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.
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.
Could be. His net worth is around 12 million.He looks pretty good for 93.
Maybe they're getting married so she can inherit his pension? I have no idea how it works.
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.
I don't think buzz cares... as long as he gets his needs met, it's only money. Can't take it with you after all...Gold digger
It’s sad tho. Knowing she’s only with him to feed off his carcass when he’s goneI don't think buzz cares... as long as he gets his needs met, it's only money. Can't take it with you after all...

She's 63 (only 30 years younger) and a medical doctor. She probably has a decent nest egg even without Buzz Aldrin.Gold digger
I'm sure he's fine with her going down on him while he watches matlock (or whatever old people are watching now) while yelling at kids to get off his lawn. Wouldn't we all be so lucky at such an old age. hahahahahahIt’s sad tho. Knowing she’s only with him to feed off his carcass when he’s gone
Old people want what they want. Maybe his values do not align with escorts, but do with large age gap marriages with a younger bride that seems somewhat intelligent. I don't fault the man.If he's fine with the transactional nature of it, I don't see why he wouldn't just get high dollar escorts. Seems it would still be cheaper, they'd be younger, and not the same one...
Widow pensions can go on for a LONG time.He looks pretty good for 93.

That is the reason she said "Yes"Could be. His net worth is around 12 million.
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.
It’s just beginning for Annuitycels.Widow pensions can go on for a LONG time.![]()
Maybe I should start using PensionGame ("at your age, you'll be receiving my SS pension until the 22nd Century")?![]()
