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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

rkc09 said:Here's my outlook. Don't go more than 2 years over or more than two years under.
For example if your a 16 year old. The minimum age for potential gfs should be 14. While the maximum should be 18. Just follow the scale. Don't be a 16 year old dating a 13 year old or a 18 year old dating a 14 year old.
That doesn't mean they should be having sex. I am sure with all the video games out there most 10yr olds have good dexterity but that doesn't mean we should let them drive.If somebody is 13 or 14 don't you think they probaly know whats going on in there pants?
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.
You made it into college?ElStud said:Age to me isn't a factor. And I've even heard of dudes who are like around 18-21 f*cking girls in their 30's. In the end, age doesn't even matter. So don't worry about it because it'll screw you up. Especially when you get to college where there'll be a lot of people your age but a lot of people older than you.
Yes it is "ok" to date her.Jokerlsk said:Okay, so I'm a softmore, but I don't turn 16 til April, and there is this 8th grade girl that turned 14 last month. Is it okay if I date her?
