"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.

"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.

Haha yeah well as long as you get the slip-ons like I got (not the full boot) I think you're set.Ken785 said:
Btw guys... I can't believe I forgot this present:
12 different types of condoms from Lovers Package.
From whom? You might ask. My mom.
Apparently she found some of mine and decided to go and get a bunch. Among the different types are "Studded: Beyond Seven", "Rough Rider: Hot Passion with warming lubricant", "Lifestyles Tuxedo Black", "Rough Rider: Studded", and weirdest of all... "Inspiral Lubricated Condom"
Check out the Inspiral one because it looks really weird with this inflated thing on it...

Are you an idiot?simon said:
"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.
Planet Earth and Superbad on Blu Ray, Nautica robe, Sony Walkman MP3 (4GB), NBA 2K8 on PS3, remote car starter, AAA membership renewal.
6 t-shirts from Express, with 2 new pairs of jeans from there. Some sweatshirts from Gap, A&F, and Macy's. The whole vintage/artistic look... My sister picked everything out. Awesome stuff...
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
