"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.

I have this issue I'm dealing with, here's the situation:

I met this girl 2 years ago, before I started doing the college course I'm doing now, but it turned out she was going to go to the same university as I was and that she was going to do the same course.

So that next year we saw each other at these courses and got to know each other well. At that point we kind of liked each other and we were both looking for a place to live and since living in an apartment alone was too expensive for the both of us and continuing living with the parents not an option, we decided to start sharing an appartment.

All was fine in the first year, but now she is beginning to annoy me, I appreciate and like her still, but she has become more of a lazy and complaining b!tch lately.

Basically, I wouldn't mind leaving her and finding a place of my own.

The problem is we both moved into this new town together and just about everyone I know, we know together.

Also we have an agreement with the landlord of a two months notice to move out.

We decided to share the books for college to reduce costs and we actually bought some things together for the appartment like a tv/washing machine and some other stuff.

Also since rent is too expensive to pay alone, so I would at least temporarily have to move back with my parents for a while and start travelling 2 hours a day just to get to college.

Just now I am beginning to realize that I have made myself too dependent on her and on this relationship by sharing all this stuff.

I know what I have to do, but these drawbacks, as mentioned above, pretty much suck and will cost me.

Any comments are welcome.
 

"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.

Always have an out, that's what I say. :)

She's probably too comfortable, start staying out a little later with a buddy :).

These are the consequences of moving in with a woman you weren't marrying. If you're tired of her 5hit, then you'll have no problem giving up the tv, the washing machine, and any other investments you've made with her. It's a small price to pay to learn a life lesson.

Get your own place next time, and you won't have to put up with anybody's 5hit.

What college course is it that you're taking? Creative Writing?

Bought a washing machine for an apartment?

Troll, get your facts straight. Your troll is too full of idiocy to be believable; it's a little over the top.

I wish I had a TV/Washing machine - I could watch movies while doing the laundry. Sweet! Does the screen get all shakey on the spin cycle?

Another 1st post troll. I've got your number now pal.

Thread Closed.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
