"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.

Well I've had a major case of oneitis for a girl that I've been interested for 2 years. She has no interest in me, and has interest for my best friend. He has no interest for her, but we're all friends. The thing is I'm not still trying for her, I'm trying to forget her and move on. The only problem is that when she's on good terms with my best friend she couldn't care less about me, but when she's on not-so friendly terms with him she comes straight to me. Not to talk about him, but I become #1 as soon as she's mad at him or they haven't talked in a while.

I hate being #2 and I don't even want her anymore, I just want her to stop comming to me as a backup. I want to send her the message in the nicest way possible cuz she is a friend and a good person. What should I do?
 

"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.

When she comes to you, side-note her. By this I mean keep doing what you do when she's with your mate, but don't ignore her. Just don't prioritise her.

Forget about her. Don't talk to her anymore and don't hang out with her anymore. This could be a small challenge if you want to hang out with your friend but he is hanging out with her. So you will have to manuever around it.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
