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.
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
That'll get you slapped. Or she'll just cry.Originally posted by dirtyvibe
You: Hey, you're pretty.
You: Pretty ugly!
You: Laugh in her face.

I think that comment from dirtyvibe was a joke I think he purposely said an insult because so many of you were sayin those were insults so he just threw out a obvious insult that was quite funny I might add, if im wrong dirtyvibe tell me.Originally posted by SynapsyS

don't get it but maybe because i'm american.here are a few off the top of my head:
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.

although i know shezz had the best intentions in making this thread, i think he made many of the newer DJ's think that neg hits should be used on a regular basis. when i learned about them i was constantly warned only to use them with super super hot girls, and even then only use them on those super hot girls if they placed themselves on a pedestal above me. so far i've never found myself in a situation where i needed a neg hit.
unfortunately because of this thread there may be quite a few more girls out there getting insulted under the guise of a neg hit.
