"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.

..and no matter how I try to tell him, he won't listen. He keeps asking me for evidence, but no matter what I throw at him, he says that's not his definition of "clowning". :mad: ...last night after work she wanted to hang out with us, but HE wouldn't go to the club we wanted to go to, so she bailed, and all night he was pissed because she wouldn't drive 45 miles north to where he wanted to go. In all actuality, I think he's more pissed at the obvious, but continues to deny it.

I told him "Dude, sometimes you got to say what's on your mind. If she's being a b*tch, tell her!" ..he retorts with this "..I grew up in a house hold full of women, that's disrespectful. I wouldn't call my Mom a b*tch, therefore, I wouldn't call any other woman a b*tch." ...*shakeshead* ...I'm like "...your girl is being a b*tch." ...and after last night, drinking with him, I can now see why. Maybe that's why she enjoys clowning him so much(?).

I dunno what to say to snap him out of this, cuz he is really TRIPPIN!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Wtf. He ditched you guys because he wanted to go to some bar in a different town, and got pissed off at this chick for not wanting to drive an hour.

Man, kick this guy in the fvcking nuts, he's got to come back to reality.

Let him live in his own reality. You freaking out over his choices isn't beneficial to your reality.

He's pretty much on his own now, unfortunately, I'm his bud and I just want to help him see the light.

That's the best thing you can do for him.:up: The only way hey'll learn is by making his own mistakes. Just remind him that you'll always be friends and you'll back him up when necessary, then hope he snaps out of it.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
