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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Matt Rogers said:Ive been chatting online recently to this girl. She is in her late 20s like me. She is really successful in her career, already a manager. She seems to have an active social life with lots of friends and in her words "doesn't need a man".
She complained that men tend to be either too controlling and pushy, or too clingy and needy, and in general she is disappointed with men.
She is very witty and we banter a lot when we talk and she is always has a sharp comeback.
She made the comment that I seem a lot more emotional than her, and her friends say she has a heart of stone.
Oh and she is really hot.
Im meeting her tomorrow but Im not really sure what to make of her. I get the impression a lot of this is a front and probably she has just been hurt in the past. But while chatting to her online it was hard to get past the verbal swordplay and actually connect on any level.
was thinking the same thing lolRollo Tomassi said:Ooooh, a 'manager'? Hot damn, she IS tough and independent! :crackup:

Ha ha ha ha !Nutz said:"She had done a runner"
What's that mean? Did she stop some guy that was running along the road and have sex with him in the bushes?
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.

NUTZ, Scaramouche speaks West Coast Australian.
He means "she split" .
Amazing how "tough and independent" means jack sh!t to a man when he isn't attracted to a woman. I'm shocked.Matt Rogers said:Yeah I guess I was being a bit sexist being impressed she is a project manager.
I met her last night. She was very different from her online persona. Very quiet. Not at all argumentative or sarcastic. She seemed very nervous if anything. I had to ask a lot of questions to get her talking. Very closed body language.
She wasn't as good looking as her photos suggested. I wasn't that attracted to her.
