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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
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.
Have to agree with st99 on this one.st_99 said:I've been so surprised at the garbage i've hooked up with that looked perfect on paper. Upper level professions that require advanced education, quiet, nothing seemed out of wack. But it turned out on a 1 to 10 scale they were maybe a 2 in terms of relationship worthy.
You just never now man. Dont even bother looking for the right place or type or whatever.

Can you elaborate on what they were like?st_99 said:I've been so surprised at the garbage i've hooked up with that looked perfect on paper.

That's funny, i lost my ex to another guy cos SHE wanted to learn to salsa and i refused to go. All that kino from the suave latin american guy caused a rift between us. I guess I didn't make myself enough of a prize that she'd risk losing me over dancing.backbreaker said:the horse track is the most unkonwn/untapped resource of high quality womein in the country if not the world.
I've always wanted to learn how to tango. trying to talk the wife into doing classes. she cant dance to save her life though.
You'd be surprised at how many hot girls I see with ugly looking guys in the salsa scene. It just goes to show the power of kino. These guys know how to dance, they are confident, they kino women a lot through dancing and at the end their looks don't matter they still end up with hot girlfriends. The kino overpowers the women.That's funny, i lost my ex to another guy cos SHE wanted to learn to salsa and i refused to go. All that kino from the suave latin american guy caused a rift between us.

^This, more than anything^PapiChulo said:Where you hobbies or interests take place.
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.
