"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.

We never live down missed opportunities, but to prove why we shouldn't worry about them, consider:

1) When a woman loves a man, he can can roll her under a parked car when she's drunk and drive her best friend home and she'll think "But he might have meant well".

2) When she doesn't love him, she will say "I appreciated the trip to Costa Rica, but that day after our walk in front of the active volcano, after the flight in his private jet to the Pacific coast for surfing, when we were at his beachfront property, he overcooked the Lobster ravioli".

As you can see, if you are on the edge, you're neither here nor there. Let the pain inspire you, but live it down and move on.

Do you still have "ones that got away" that you can't get over?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Love can be re-gained or gained if it's not there. You all know without respect it's almost impossible to have love. Sometimes we spoil these "dames", and they cannot respect it, even though you may have broke your back for them. And they won't love. But you can correct yourself. There's a method to the madness...
