"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Where I be at
Alright most of the annoying afc's ask the same asinine questions. The site isn't as grandeur as the place it once portrayed. If there is nothing to read over in the current section, don't waste your time on the internet, get into the fricking field! But if you must stay online read something productive, hit up The Archives for some interesting and helpful materials. Who knows you might even find some helpful things for you.... "It is better to have and not need than to need and not have"

While your at it, there are other forums laying around that aren't located on the main forum page such as Success Stories and Unusual techniques. If you can't find it, ask a mod to show you.

If we cut down on the useless posts we could really clear up the material on the site, and also we can get an updated view on the older opinions in the archive.


P.S. When you get to the archive section there are 5 ( ! ) pages of material.... Just scroll to the bottom of the first page, and hit View: From the Beginning
 

"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.

Ironically enough, this is the 227th thread that raised the same concern as you - check the archives if you don't believe me!:rolleyes: We all know this already - no need to beat a dead horse!
 

"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.
