"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.

What are your favorite guitar solos?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I like the ones that get to the point, and don't overstay their welcome. A few that come to mind are:

Roger MCGuinn (Byrds): "Eight Miles High," and especially "Thoughts and Words" (most frighteningly intense backwards guitar solo I've ever heard)
Dave Davies (Kinks): "I Need You," "Til The End of the Day"
Pete Townshend (Who): "Our Love Was," "Young Man Blues" (London Coliseum, 1969 version on The Kids Are Alright film)
Dave Gregory (XTC): "Ball and Chain" (actually an ensemble w/Andy Partridge, most likely).
Roy Wood (Move): "The Last Thing On My Mind" (brilliant overbubbed ensemble)
Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention): "Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman"
Robert Fripp (w/ Bowie): "Heroes" (w/King Crimson): "Starless" (both nothing in terms of notes, but devastating in terms of musical sense) (w/King Crimson):"Epitaph"
Martin Barre (Jethro Tull): "Aqualung," "With You There To Help Me".

And yeah, Hendrix and Clapton (early on) knew how to jam without too often falling into drawn-out ass-wanking.
 

"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.

A few more that come to mind:

Will Sergeant (Echo & the Bunnymen): "My Kingdom," "The Killing Moon"
Emma Anderson (w/Lush): "Kiss Chase," (w/ Sing-Sing): "Tegan"
Justin Clayton: "Miles Away"
George Harrison: "Something"
James Williamson (Stooges): "Search and Destroy"
 

"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.
