"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.
What brand was your first computer?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

My family's first computer was almost a Packard Bell but we ended up buying from some local builder.
4 MB of RAM was standard but we paid the extra $160 to get 8 MB. Yes, RAM cost $40 per megabyte.
Thats $40,000 per gigabyte. WOW!
"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.

The c64 costs $100 and that giant disk drive was $200, but you had to have it if you wanted to play more than the crappy cartridge games. And you could cut a V-shaped notch out of the side of the disk if you wanted to use both sides.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

The Trash 80! When I was in elementary school, they would pull the smart kids out of class and let them play games on the Trash 80. They called this program "gifted." You had to be gifted to see what the hell was supposed to be going on in those games, which had graphics of about 4 pixels per square inch and involved maneuvering little rectangles around the screen while using a lot of imagination.

now I'm trying to be more social, so I have a quad core 3ghz I havent even plugged in after painting my room 4 months ago, and a dell mini9 I just use to surf a bit here and there.
The 2nd computer I had which was a hewlett packard it lasted me for almost 10 years. I highly recommend HP they put out quality stuff. Then I got a dell which still works but it has crashed a bunch of times I don't think my HP ever did.

Quantumlink was essentially a bulletin board though.We still use it. 192 MB ram..
Firefox opens up in about 10 minutes.
General start up takes around 40 minutes.
Of course we dont use it daily i already have my own computer and i cant complain!
Your computer is overloaded for some reason. Start up shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. You can solve this by putting XP or Windows 2000 on it and turning off the memory draining services and applications. The less your computer has to do the faster it is.dra901 said:
"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.
