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.
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.
Exactly what I do.sirBill said:haha I've been most successful just not talking about the relationship with the girl. Religion is a non-issue these days for most people. Just smile as she says all this nonsense and go back to bed with her.
Oh and man up, getting hurt is part of life. With greater highs comes lower lows, crank up the intensity and live a little.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Thats what I thought, wasnt fully sure though. Now she just texts me, sorry if i was pushing u last night. Funny part is, she didnt push me at all. Physically yea but we were playing around laughing.Cherokee said:If she says she doesn't trust you fully, chances are she does... and now she wants your security.
Never listen to what a girl says, judge her by her actions. If she does anything you want and is regularly fvcking your brains out, then she loves you.
Give her the security, but little by little, and have patience.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
We both dont know to college(Jobs are complete opposite though), our similirites are more on the general side. Not that we like all the same things but out mindsets are similar. Both a bit crazy, kinky, at the same time very shap brains, quick thinkers, I think we'd make a better team overall then a relashionshiop....still its a bit confusing to me since I was never really in an actually relashionship, I just ***** around once or twice, sometimes three times a week..comic_relief said:In passions, yes.
In general knowledge (for example, college majors) HELL NO!
If you choose someone in the same field, it becomes more competition than a relationship (maybe an overgeneralization but I definitely see it all the time).
Right now, I am dating a biology/geology major while I am poli-sci major. We always have stuff to talk about with each other on different levels. Just make sure she is interesting
Now that's an interesting question, what to do when a potential partner is very religious.Crissco said:Thats what I thought. This girls a big gamer. She said last night we'd never work out for 1. Her religion and 2. bc where 2 similar. Funny part is I override her emotions like crazy and get her to do anything I want in bed. When it comes to relashionships shes scared....Im starting to fall for her and honestly dont want to bc im afraid of getting hurt.
