"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.

She gutted me completely and left me wondering wtf happened.

I have been pining for her for a long, long time. She sent me a text this am - no hi or how u been... just her phone number and "its me so and so" all topped off with a smiley.

Crazy *****. I deleted the message and am trying hard again to forget I ever knew her. This sucks because I've never loved someone so much before...

But I have a gal who is great right now - who isn't going to pull that crap and that helps. Just venting guys... thanks
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Man, this is another one of those things that make you think there is Female Behavior Manual somewhere. It seems all women, BPD or not, will try to re-establish contact 6 mos. after a breakup. I mean it's up there with "death and taxes."

My last ex, who wasn't BPD, did the same thing.

Same thing happened to me. She dumped me in December and contacted me in June. No joke. I kept up contact and it ended in tears all over again.
