"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.

Did I do something wrong?

This girl I've been going out with came over yesterday. It was a pretty gloomy day, very cloudy. We just kind of hung out on the couch together and later in my bed. There was lots of cuddling and play-fighting. Anyway, it seemed to me like she was having a good time. When it was time for her to go to work, I kissed her a couple of times outside in the hall and she smiled and told me to call her some time. Then today at work, I didn't even get so much as a hello. She was totally ignoring me. She wasn't even looking at me. This isn't like her at all but I didn't say anything. I just got my check and left. So what the **** is this?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Why didn't you f*ck her? That's what you did wrong.

Also she's testing you for panic and neediness. Don't sweat it.

I didn't have sex with her because I'm not ready to have sex with her yet. It's as simple as that. I like her, but I'd like to get to know her a little better before I jam my **** inside of her.

Alien concept to me, but different strokes for different folks and all that. Whatever the reason, women don't like being rejected any more than men, so that's why you're in the doghouse.

If you're going to be a c*nt-tease you have to be able to deal with the consequences.

I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Chicks have alot of sh1t going through their head all day long. She might feel that she does not want to be open about your relationship at work so people won't label her a slvt, or she is on her period who knows.

The point is that this behaviour did not happen on a date where the two of you are alone one on one. I would just ignore this behaviour and don't mention it next time you set up a date. If she starts acting flaky or giving you a hard time then you know its something serious and then it will be time to think things over.

Well, if that's the problem, then she's just going to have to get over it, seeing as how she practically ditched me last weekend. Sorry, this wasn't in response to your post, Damage. Also, I can understand not wanting everyone to know. People tend to make a big deal out of everything, and right now it's not like we're a couple.

is this the same girl you made a bet with?

(if it is)
get over it, you wanted to play games with her...she's playing them back.

Do women actually do this on purpose, or is a subconscious test that they do without even realizing it?

Huh? Apparently you're thinking of someone else.
 

"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.

Don't assume anything. No biggie if she isn't talking at work... afterall she is at work. There is only a problem if she acts like that when you two are alone together.

Maybe she had mentrual cramps. Maybe she got yelled at by her boss. Maybe her ex-BF was there as well. Maybe she didn't have her contacts in....

I understand that she's working. I don't expect her to drop what she's doing just to say hello to me. It just bothered me that she was standing right next to me at one point, and I didn't even get a "hey" or a "hi". Maybe it's because we're past that initial stage of flirting?
