"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.

Hi i just registered because this girl has my head spinning.

So there is this girl i work with. She is with this guy who was kind of my friend that used to work there(we where work friends). Ok dude got fired almost a year ago now and still has no job. They live together. Lately she complains about him a lot to me. How she pays for everything, we start talking a lot. I try to make good eye contact, smile a lot, and do all that. I think im doing good but its going slowly. I have taken her out to lunch 2 times now on break from work and i want to take her out for real. The last time at lunch i basically told her how i felt. I got not much of a response. I also told her i want to take her out for real and she said "we'll work on that" whats that suposed to mean. ack.

Any advice, tips to handling this. I get the feelings she is quite reserved and im going to have to make all the moves. Normally i dont have much trouble talking with ladies and stuff, but her having a man is throwing me off here. I get the feeling she might be weighing her options. Whats my next move, how long do i wait? Do i try and not seem to interested. I am talking to her now on AIM.
 

"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.

Don't go there. It will just lead to trouble. Find a girl who is available. No more work lunch dates alone.

I don't have much experience with a situation like this, but I would call myself one of the best observasionalists.

Here's what I think about attached girls:

1) Women are plentiful, and it's a cruel enough world out there for the AFCs, that we should all take a solemn vow NEVER to help a girl cheat on a guy. As men, we should be protecting other men. Unless they are complete *******s.
Bros before hoes.

2) A girl that is dating someone is bad news. Why? Because it means that she is looking to you to fill some void that the other boyfriend left.
From the looks of it, you're telling me that she still hasn't broken up with her BF, yet she still comes to you to complain about her emotional baggage. What does that tell me?
She's getting all her needs taken care of by the both of you. She's still having sex with her BF, and at the same time, she can come to you to talk about all her emotional problems. You are both being played...That is unless YOU really do just think of her as a friend, which I can tell just from the fact that you are posting here, yo do not.

Bad idea man. If I were you I would start dating other chicks ASAP.

Sigh, not what i wanted to hear but yeah. I figure ill make one go for her and if it doesnt work out ill move on. I honestly could give to ****s up about the other guy, he only really hung out with me besides at work when he wanted to get high. Normally i dont really get worked up about girls but i guess im stuck on her for whatever reason. Ill quit being a *****.

There is a work party on sunday ill try somthing them. Damn i really am an *******. She just said to me if anything it would be her that would have to stop anything that would be cheating? I think she is ****ing with me.
 

"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.
