"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.

Am I handling this girl correctly?

Been involved with her for about two months, she isn't an AW in that she seeks male attention, but is self centered and likes to talk about herself, constant facebook updates, texts often, etc. My method so far has been to give her attention in moderation. We click so I have no problems charming or making her smile, but I remain aloof by not always being available and not answering all texts. For example we sent a few fun texts this afternoon, but I quit responding when she left a response open ended to leave her wanting more. She texted again 45 minutes later with "My hair is getting long and I <3 it. Random I know", looking for attention or to get me texting again and I didn't respond to that either. I usually dont respond on Fri/Sat nights if i'm out.

She found out me and my buddies were hanging out with some girls last weekend, and wants to see me Fri and Sat as it's her only weekend off for a while. I agreed to Friday. I noticed on her facebook there might be another guy pursuing, but he's the type that's always replying to her status updates, trying to please her. I never post on her FB and hardly use mine. She doesn't seem gaga for him, but should I be worried she might fall for a guy who is always fawning her with attention like that, or should I keep doing what i'm doing?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

You need to get face-time with this girl. Physical contact is always the trump card. If you can get face-time with her and actually attract her with your charms, it doesn't matter what some idiot is doing on facebook. It's a charmless, riskless endeavor, therefore you get little to no credit from messaging somebody on facebook unless you're using it to create tension.

We hang out fairly often, mainly once per week on average, sometimes twice. Half the time i'll sleep over and leave in the morning for work. We're always physical.

Dude just play THE GAME. Don't let yourself caught in an a$$-kissing contest with the competition.

Remember: You don't have any competition. It doesn't exist. It's about you and her.

Keep doing what you're doing. In fact once you start hitting it on the regular get off FB...I'd recommend it anyway.

Then, she'll have her physical needs(fix) met with you and her attention needs met by the chumps on Facebook.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
