"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.

Being "Separated" is killing plates

Recently separated playing the field.. it's scaring plates off. I got one who is cool with it and wants to see me but she just wants to be "friends" but I make her p/ssy wet with my game and she said she is confused. I met her already and again tomorrow.

But I just had another in the palm of the hand but when I was honest about being separated the plate cooled down. I don't know if the plate broke, I still got the #. But "separated" is killing the game.

Should I lie.. now don't get me wrong, I break it to them very smoothly in a Player Supreme type way but man it's a killer.

I really don't give a damn about the lost plate tonight I am just testing out what being honest will be like. Actually the new plate tonight I probably got her hamster spinning with my smooth game so we'll see if she comes around.

I don't give a f/ck either way. I saw a hot chic at the starbucks when I was married. I went back the other day and got her #. She said it was her last day working there. I asked for her #. She wrote it down. I thought maybe it was fate being her last day when I approached.

I called and a dude answered and told me she is not availabale. I texted and got no reply.

Chics are so damned strange. Just don't give a f/ck.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"Being Separated" is often synonymous with "Giving it a small break" or "time out," suggesting the strong possibility for reconciliation. Words, man...words. A woman has too many options and too little time to isolate herself to a stranger who's still legally, although loosely, attached to another woman...unless you possess enough strong, tangible qualities to convince her to dismiss such reservations.

Why are you discussing this 5hit with new plates? I usually don't discuss my marital status until after a few dates. By that time, they're too emotionally invested to care.

This is when online where you have to put your status, at first I put single but then if I met someone and they find I lied that would get screwed over fast.

I think I'm going to put single anyway. If I met in person I wouldn't discuss it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yea, I am with Bible_Belt I used "I'm the process of my divorce" in person and "single" online. Then throw back at them: You: "are you single?" Her: "Yea" You: "good, I don't hunt on another mans land, there is no honor in it" or some other statement that makes them feel secure that you aren't a cheater.

Dude, we all know what 'separated' means. It means your wife left you. Women know that 80% of divorces are because the wife left the man. So to the new chicks, that means that SOME woman left you and it turns them off. Women want men in demand, not ones that women leave. There are many women, even quality ones, that will f*ck married men if they feel the attraction.

You need to turn this around and either quit talking about it, or somehow imply that you left your wife. I just wouldn't mention it at all.

I've always used "single" when signing up for online dating. "Divorced" still has a nasty stigma attached to it, and "Separated" sounds like you're still not over it.

On the way out to hang with plate. I don't mess around. She knows everything and still is attached and only 24. Being out of the dating game for 4 years and I haven't missed a beat.
 

"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.

When a woman starts proding into my relationship status prematurely, my response is generally "I am an available man right now and that's all I'm gonna tell you. So let's just enjoy our time together tonight and see how things go".

As for the online status thing, I think its OK to put "divorced" once court papers are filed, even though the divorce isn't final, so long as you know for 100% sure there is no going back.

Tell nothing and they asked tell them you have been divorced for a while. I made the mistake early on that I was going through a divorce and lost a number of plates. There are a lot of women who want to make sure that the drama is over and that you are available.....lie. Abe
