"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.

if you call someone and it rings, meaning the call went through, and it rings twice but then it goes to the voicemail, what does it mean?
im thinking she saw my id and just closed her phone?

because if her phone is off, it would go directly to voicemail without the rings right?

or if she's talking to someone else it wouldnt ring, it would rather have this weird tone thing.

thanks
 

"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.

just relax. it just means her cell phone fu<ked up! most cell phones automatically answer when someone flips them open, and if she did that and hung up on you, u wouldn't get her voicemail. ur okay

That's not necessarily true. Nokia candybars have an 'ignore' option where it will ring a couple times then go to answering machine. Some of my friends used to do this to me ~4 years ago pre-SS.

Every cell phone I know of, if you hit end or close the phone, they either hang up on you or send you directly to the voice mail. That is what my dad's, sister's, brother in law's and coach's cell phones do. I would recommend leaving a SINGLE voicemail and leaving her alone for a few days, if she doesn't call you back.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

He gives a ****... and you sure as hell will be searching this **** the next time a HB does the same thing to you. So STFU. This happens to a whole lot of us, and this is obviously a potential IL indicator.

yeah kid, you dunno me. I don't care if anyone does that to me. If you care ok, man but seirously keep wasting your mind and time on this crap. She mighta been busy. PEople have lives. Learn to live yours as an independent so you don't care so much about how other people react to you (and it might not even be a reaction to YOU).

peace dude. hopefully you will think of yourself as more than a nobody someday

I'm on the road to it... I'll change screenames when I become somebody, until then I'm nobody.
 

"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.

That means it's got little to no signal, and/or was switched off in the first place.

So basically they wouldn't see the call anyway.
