"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.

I heard about that movie Catfish and decided to check out parts of it on Youtube. I'd came across videos from users (who knows if some were making up stories to get freebies for the movie promo) people who had actually "fallen in love" with a stranger online who used fake pictures and talked for MONTHS or longer without meeting till the dopes eventually wised up and found out the person was a fake. Can you say embarrassingly pathetic?

Not only that but some people admitting to making several fake MySpace or Facebook pages and having "Conversations" between then for "authenticity" just to dupe other people into thinking the fake person is them and talk to others online for God knows how long.

Now I could understand someone putting a fake dating profile up just to test responses quickly and then just deleting the profile to prove a looks theory. But to sit online for months, create not only a fake facebook so a person would think it's them, but also several other fake facebooks to "chat" on the pages to add even more "realness" to it, as well as actually giving out their real number to talk on the phone to others whom they've gotten numbers from a fake profile on online dating for weeks, months, or longer till they got busted? Damn...lol

Here's a video of one dude who talked to a chick for like three months or longer till he busted her. Dude "feel in love" with her pictures..then after the chick told him it wasn't her, he asked if she knew the person in the pictures. The chick said yes and this dude wanted her to get him to meet that chick even after he found out the chick in the pics had a boyfriend and he wasn't even talking to her! WTF?!?!

(The video this dude made is 27 minutes long so if you get downtime to pass..Damn..)

"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.

Yeah man, I've been there. That ṣhit fücks you up in the head to the point where you fall in love with a figment of your own imagination. It's a low confidence/self esteem ṣhitcake with a thick layer of AFC flavored icing. Never again!

Never met anyone online like that or talked to one...but it is a crazy world. I think that is as low as it goes in terms of how desperate someone is.
