"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.

Ask for a straight up rejection?

Sometimes, girls try to break things to you in very polite ways. But it would be better if they just said straight up that they're not interested. It would save me effort and would make things absolutely clear as to where we stand.

Anyway, there's a girl I hit it off with the other day at a party. So invited her to join me for dinner tonight. She declined saying that she had a lot of work to do. The thing is, it is plausible...she is a med student and she's got exams coming up (yes...she really does). But at the same time, she might just be politely rejecting me.

I'm done wasting time with girls who just want to be friends. I've got enough friends. If they're not interested, I'd prefer to know as soon as possible.

I'm really tempted to say something like:

"Look, if this isn't going anywhere, please just let me know. It's not going to be a blow to my ego....trust me."

What do you guys think?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I feel you there, man. It happens to me as well. I would normally give them a 2nd chance and try to get her out. If she declines without counter-offering, I won't try too hard. I'd just move on, seriously. There are tons of girls out there you can know, better to find someone more worthy of your time.

I have told women 'Next me, tell me to fuvk off...' How well does that go over? It depends on their IL and her state of mind. I think that women run a tight game of tests and toying, but do not like confrontational situations. I would say generally not advised.

If you have arrived at this point, it may be too late. Your situation sounds like it is just getting started.
