"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.
Ever had a g/f like this?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

Aha! I've been wondering when someone would post this!
There's a lot of moments in there that made me cringe out of familiarity... and I found this site through KX's epic thread about BPD a while back. Love that series.
I blame my poor judgement on the sex :yes:

That was genius. An exact capture of the female psyche, with a perfect revelation of a woman's typical motivation at the end.MatureDJ said:

I've got to stop watching these. They're scaring me a little. They are so spot-on it's amazing. Kudos to the writer/director. Althought they portray the extreme, we all know these traits are found in every woman. I think I'll clear my pallette with some Battlefield II.

wow. flashbacks.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

...and that my friends is why you should never, put all your eggs in one basket with one girl. They are (almost) all capable of turning into that.
