"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.

Do you find yourself being a lot less cheap in tipping when wining & dining a gal?

"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.

Everyone on here is telling me to stop wasting money on nice dinner dates, especially the first date if it's an OLD date.

I was referring to an earlier age when women were worth wining & dining early on.

I was reading this, and it got me interested:
my opinion: Yes, I have definitely tipped more when taking out gals in the USA. :rolleyes:
I spend and tip the same. Usually I double the tax, so that's around 15%-18% depending if it's CT or NY. Although, there was this one time that server was horrible. Rude and nasty. I tipped zero. First time in my life I've done so.

Nah, spend about the same. I def avoid dining dinner until sex, but drinks and small plates are all good. Really comes down to the server, I could be eating with my dad and if service is good I'll tip heavy, with a 10 and average service I'll tip normal. S
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

So the next date I do you suggest just a couple drinks and maybe order an appetizer versus the whole meal BS which can add up?

Yeah don't even go to places that serve meals, little wine bars, coffee shops that serve alcohol. From there have 1 one or two more locations (coach corey wayne tip), a dive bar for a quick beer, a scenic walk, a place to throw darts/shoot pool, even more ideal if the third location is your place. I have a bar at my house, pool, and karaoke/live band set up, def helps. When I was flat broke, had a mattress and an acoustic guitar, lets go play at my apartment. Make the best of your city and your set of cards.

I would not be taking her to dinner unless she already spent time in my bed and I appreciate her.

only a thirsty man would buy a woman a dinner when she hasn’t even had sex with him.
