"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.

Problem solved.

Trust your gut. But definitetly do not listen to your heart. Please please please do not listen to your heart. We all know what happens when we listent to our heart.
 

"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.

Oh and guys who don't believe in the plate theory.. this is EXACTLY why you spin plates and why it's worth it. First of all, even though I do like her, I'm still in a position of power. Hell I have a date Friday.

Secondly, I didn't get tied into some tramp because she had good pvssy and missed out on this woman who is like nothing I have never seen.

I didn't try to make a square peg fit into a round hole (by forcing LTR's with women who didn't fit what i wanted) and eventually I THINK i might have found one that fits.

still being cautiously optimistic.. I'm waiting on her to throw something at me or to cut my **** off or something. my theory on women is that all, and i mean ALL have a down side.. the thing is can you live with that downside or not. I'm waiting to see what her's is. she just hasn't displayed it yet.

I'm about as rational (for the last 4 years anyway) as you will find. that's not a problem.

funny thing is, she knows (or at least assumes) I date other women! She told me 'I know you had other women before me and you probably still do.. I don't expect you to drop everyone because of me, but when it comes down to it I'll beat everyone else out"

I'm enjoying the moment.
Dude, it sounds as if you are in a great situation. Why on earth were you considering something to mess things up?

it's not messing up. it's either to be or it's not. you spin your plates and don't let them spin you.

As Rollo said in a previous thread, when you only date one woman you get locked in on her and her importance is greatened in your eyes. not saying that that won' happenen, but I'll be damned if I let that happen after 2 months.

we have a mutal respect. she knows I'm into her. I know she likes me.
 

"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.
