"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.

As I speak there are like 5 pairs of shoes all over the floor of my house

I remembered that you are a neat freak.

My sosuave gripes are the 'girls have cooties' excessive std fears and the misogynist way of calling every woman who has been with a couple dozen guys The Wh0re of Babylon.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

a neat freak I am. I'm working on her. She's not THAT bad honestly but I walked and was on the phone and tripped over a high heel the other day, in my own damn living room. that's not very fun.

it makes for a good game of WAR however... if we ever get into it there is already ammunition on the ground to start slinging at each other.

on your gripe, a very good friend I grew up with I just found out he has HIV, so I've been on my soap box for the last c ouple of months about getting tested and making sure about cooties and all that good stuff.

i'd be funny if cooties was an actual STD

Cooties are probably crabs. They are the only funny std, probably because they are so easy to get rid of.

My condolences on your hiv+ friend.

No problem that is what seperates men from the boys. I am glad you finally see that honesty is a good thing. Maybe your time away has given you the confidence and selfesteem to be real this time.

Welcome Back sexy.

almost forgot. I'm pretty sure I ran into someone here on the forum about 2 m onths ago out at a resturant. Becuse only someone that came to this site and who was a newb could get ****y and funny so god damn wrong.

you know..when it's ovbious you are scripting? The guy ltierarly... while I"m taking my GF out on a date.. not minding anyone else's business, decides he is going to make a joke about my hat I had on (a fedeora), when I say out of nowhere.. literarly... all I here is "godfather hat" and he's looking and pointing at me.

i could not even get mad because I've been there at one point. whoever you are man.. just keep tryin. eventually it will come.

A-MEN brother.

Some people think they have escaped the matrix, when in reality all they have done is simply realize that it exists.

You were the black guy, right?

I just need a little more practice. Thanks for the support!

Oh, welcome back!:cheer:
 

"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.
