"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 health care provider do you use.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Holy crap! I'm not so sure on that one. I've only heard of "Cobra" being something that you can sign on for if you aren't getting one through an employer or govt assistance route.

Commenting in an @eli77 thread cures me every time

In a world that's unpredictably crazy, you want a place that's predictably crazy.

I have Blue Cross Complete through State medicare, which is 100% free for me. The website is awful for finding care but the coverage itself is amazing. Zero copays and deductibles - covers all medical and dental, ambulances, prescriptions, and just normal checkups/preventative care. Literally have never paid a dime.

In my experience I can qualify for it even when I'm employed, but I think there's an income limit. If you're self employed it's pretty easy to get away with it, they don't really verify income.

From what I know, Priority Health and Aetna are pretty sh*tty.
 

"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.

I think Personify? I’m having to use Claude Cowork to get through the maze of these insurance portals.

How long have you been with them?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Cobra is what you are able to get after you get fired or let go by an employer if you want to continue under that health insurance for a period of time and pay out of pocket.

Essentially, you have to start paying the employer portion of what was being covered for your health insurance which is usually like 70-80+% a month of the total, on top of the 20-30% you paid as the employee for the portion you were responsible for.

It's ridiculously expensive so I'm not sure why anyone would.
