"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.

Went on a first date with this girl I met two weekends ago.

Things are going swell, making fun of her, she seems normal. After awhile, she kisses me. I was holding out til we were NOT at a bar getting a drink, as I am not into making out in bars/restaurants, unless I am going off a few beers.

Anyway.
I suggest going to her house, she agrees, so I follow her out there and we go at it for about an hour. When we are finished, I start to tear up in my eyes and start sneezing. She has two cats.

I am allergic to cats. So, I had to get out of there (which isn't a bad thing) but then I realized that if I want to continue having sex with this woman I am going to need to find a better place. (my place is out of the question, it sucks). I want to have more fun, but the allergies to her cats are killin it.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You know there is allergy meds. I too am allergic to cats but rarely do chicks tell you they have them until its too late. Could always just keep some claritin in the car or something.

Have had girls allergic to cats and my old roommate had a cat. It can suck, but they usually wanna have sex anyways. They don't always wanna spend the night though - I just drive em to the store to get some benadryl.

Sounds good except that I am the one that gets the reaction.......not her.....so it's an issue. Oh well, it'll work itself out.
