"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 clique do you belong to/were you? what is your image?

"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.

i chill with the potheads..the jocks...preps...ill be caught sociallizing with the nerds here and there...and i dont have a clique specific style...ive got my own little style that i dont see much of nebody wearing..and i tend to keep it like that...if some1 starts to copy my style...i change it a little...
I try not to hang around the people in my school, and rather find friends outside of school who are more fun/richer/wilder/more connections/important. most of the people in my school are being something they are not, and i can see right through them...
one time somebody tried to pick on me, call me names and push me around. and that night me and my "CREW" ripped out all of that guys hair and snapped off his fingernails. it was beautiful.

I am myself.
"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.

You sound to me like you are a ****ing loser.
You and your ""CREW"" are probably the type of guys that sit around trying to convince people that you are hard and masculine by threatening people and fighting because inside you are empty and you lack self-esteem (and ya just might be GAY! Oh but dont even think about that leave it forever ruminating in your head and block it out when you can by torturing people and then BRAGGING about it! The kid CALLED YOU NAMES. Those are WORDS. Are you really so uncertain about yourself that namecalling effects you THAT much?)
Anyway, if you're so hard then why didn't you do anything when the guy was making fun of you in the first place? Oh yeah, you are too weak to take care of your own problems so you ran and grabbed your bodyguards.
Gay or not gay grifter, just choose one!
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

I used to be straight stoner and hung out with stoners. I dressed preppy. Then I started hanging out with a really rich prep kid (17 with a 1998 M3. bastard.) and I didnt smoke much anymore. I hung out with alot of jocks and preps.
At parties the preps and stoners are one. We all mix in.
In the past months I hung out with 2 girls ALOT. One of was my best friend now, now shes my girlfriend, but the other was annoying. and fat. and annoying. We dont hang out with her anymore.
I met my other best friend less than 2 months ago. He is impossible to group. All 3 of us are together most of the time. We could be labeled alcoholics i guess
or partiers.I used to be a skater for a few years but then I quit for a long time. This summer I started back up. I skate alot but I dont really hang out with many skaters.
Anyway, i pretty much hang out with everyone at college. Everyone knows me, i tend to float between the different "groups" of people during each day talking to everyone.
We dont have jocks/cheerleaders etc. here, just the Rock group, the Hip Hop people, the Geeks and the Anti-Social Crew (people who hide out some place and hardly talk to anyone, funnily enough i talk to them sometimes, though i dont hang with them). In fact we got a mix of all kinds of people where i live, there are usually a few disputes about music etc. but everyone pretty much gets along with each other.
