So are you a lawyer then ? If not then what area of criminal justice do you work in?You're a cop, and this is the way you interpret the law? I'm not sure what to say.
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.

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.
I'm not in criminal justice at all, but even I'm aware of the concept of reasonable force. As an officer of the law, I would expect you to be more familiar with it than I am.So are you a lawyer then ? If not then what area of criminal justice do you work in?
I will not debate you unless you work in the field. We will have to agree to disagree. I do not appreciate the personal attack element of your replies.I'm not in criminal justice at all, but even I'm aware of the concept of reasonable force.

Have you had bad dealings with the police? Many, many people have. I've only had one citizen complaint on me ever, and it was deemed unfounded.As a civilian, I would be told ignorance of the law is no excuse.
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.
In the courts of morals and karma, I might agree with you, depending on what she was saying.I still think she got exactly what she deserved.
I'm just reporting the state of the law...as it has existed for over a thousand years. I promise, when the Romans thought this sh!t up in about 600 AD, I had absolutely nothing to do with their decisions.you are incapable of sensing the massive chasm in your logical approach to the situations.
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.
Not personally. Actually, after thinking about it, I will apologize if I offended you. It was wrong of me to involve your occupation in my comments. I know men take their line of work very personally, as it should be.Have you had bad dealings with the poice?
I don't think it had any sound, as if there was, I didn't hear it either.I watched the video without sound so maybe i missed something d.
Agreed. Whether or not this girl deserved this according to the law is becoming irrelevant to me. If you go around looking for trouble long enough, you will certainly find it.I strongly believe the world is a better place when it is generally accepted that aggressively poking and following someone can earn you a punch in the mouth.
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.
Just admit that your degree is from The University of Google, and we can be friends.As we can all see from the reading of the California statute, what you thought law schools teach is clearly grossly wrong.
