You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
This makes no sense. Maybe circumstances being what they were, he couldn't see her. You can't see your plates in person 24/7, texting is to communicate when you're not around them.ebracer05 said:It sounds like you were having a conversation with her via text, which makes me wonder why you weren't having it in person. I understand you have to text in this day and age when you're dealing with women, but minimize it.
Wouldn't it have been better to have had her say that to you in person than generically across your cell phone's screen?
Maybe one day they will have an emoticon girls can send to guys that represents sucking d*ck. I'd rather her just suck it in real life![]()
I think ebracer is implying that anything sent over text should be taken with a grain of salt. I would ignore it.MisterD said:This makes no sense.
