"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.

What does it mean when people especially girls always seem to assume that you're being sarcastic and interpret many things that you say as some criticism of them, or are quick to apologize for the littlest things and often insinuate that they're trying not offend you when you're being as warm and friendly as possible? How many of you get this? Am I just giving off the wrong vibes? Maybe I just seem too uptight and unapproachable.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Ask a person you know-not a close friend or family member about your tone of voice. My ex-wife always E NUN C ATED her words, what she thought was proper diction always came across as pissed.

This is a good thread.

I have the same problem too. I have the highest grade in my English 101 class and all the girls in there try to use big words with me trying to impress me or something. However, it is kinda funny when they use a big word in the wrong context in which it should be used. Anyways, when I do talk to them and they don't use a big word they act like their less superior than me and say stuff like, "I know I'm sounding dumb right now, but not all of us can be a writer and use big words like you." I'm always like, "What the f**k? I'm normal too you know."

It's an on going problem in my life. If someone can help you, I'm sure they can help me as well.
