You want me, don't you?Originally posted by Liz
The words a girl dreams to hear!
"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Look at it this way, you're a cool chick, and Gio never get's his cage rattled...(Except when he's fending of flames from that Demon-guy!!)....
So whadda-you say! You all for the first Sosuave LUV connection???

Re: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Gio has a girlfiend and who knows she might be his wife someday, and I have a boyfriend who will be my husband someday in the next year and a half.
Sorry, otherwise I think that that Gio guy is pretty HOT!

Is sending flowers for VAlentines AFC?
Man, I work with all women and I see how they brag to each other about how thir bf/ hubbies buys them this and that. REally, only reason why I think they admire VAlentines day is because they can brag to their friends what their sig other did for them. I know this one guy who has never sent his wife flowers or done anything special or her. She takes care of him, cooks, clean and doesn't pout or argue. What do you all think?

"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.

you can if your in a LTR or married but if your not dating dont waste ur money send a card
I would'nt waste the money......you have to be serious with someone to buy something like flowers. I would'nt bother....spend the money you were going to spend on flowers and add it to your DJ clothing.
General rule of thumb.
Don't send flowers unless you're 6 months into a relationship..
Besides shes just going to look at them for maybe 5 minutes then place them in water and she'll forget about them and they will die in 3-4 days time anyway.. I think it's a crock.

Flowers?
I think the only occasions I bought flowers was for funerals. So, I don't give flowers to girls; they may get the wrong idea.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Everyone hates Valentine's Day...this is what happened to me today,
I gave her a card
I gave her a picture of us
I gave her a box of chocolates she loves
I told her "Happy Valentine's Day!"
in return, she proposed.
I am blown away.

Congratulations man! What did you say? heh. I don't think there is anything wrong with a card and flowers IF you do it the right way and the relationship is (sorta) established. I am dating 2 girls at this time, and both of them have strong feelings for me. I know that I can get away with flowers and I card because it makes them feel special. I'll probably give them both a rose and a card, write something nice in the card, and surprise them at work with it.

Call me old-fashioned, but I wouldn't be able to accept a proposal from a girl.
For the record, I wouldn't accept a proposal from a guy, either.
Oh, and regarding the question at hand: The act of buying flowers for a girl for is not AFC in and of itself... it's the circumstances that will determine that. If you're giving flowers to some girl that you've been admiring from afar for three years, yeah, that's AFC. But if you're getting your wife flowers, no, that's not AFC. It's all about the context.

Speaking of flowers, I just had some delivered to my office....
"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.

what to do for Valentines...
Ok fellas, heres the deal:
I have a girlfriend who ive been seeing for a little while now and we dated for a bit too, this is our first Valentines together and shes never really had a big valentines day before.
thanks to her bi*ch of a roommate who told her that I had all this stuff planned (which i dont!), my girl will be very dissapointed tommorow (were doing Valentines tommorow instead of today)
if i dont have all types of small things planned to do with her throughout the day, I have reservations at a decently nice restraunt uptown and i have some flowers ordered, but i need advice on some actual stuff to do tommorow during the day before tommorow night, my brain's really fried right now and i cant think of anything, so ANY ideas would help or at least get me thinkin in the right direction.

Massage would definitely be good. If you can cook, the majority of women loves it when a guy cooks for them. This should be a quite. relaxing time for both of you.
