"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.

Ex-one-itis keeps inviting me for lunch (and I keep turning down her offers)

I've had a one-itis with this girl for a while. We used to hang out relatively often, then she found a boyfriend, we stopped hanging out... and you know the story. Earlier this year I decided to cut off all contact. All was good till recently. She's being e-mailing me over and over to have diner. I turned down all of her offers (at least 5 times, maybe more), but she keeps asking. Last week, she e-mailed me asking if I was mad at her. My reply was something like this: "No, not at all. Just busy. Maybe later. -me"

Today, I received yet another e-mail asking me if I wanted to have diner with her and a common friend (whom I don't really want to see either) next week.

How to handle this? Do I just politely decline again? :crazy:
 

"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.

simple line:

"look; im a busy man. i only have time in my life for women who are more than friends"

keep your ground and dont apologize or give in no matter what sh!t she throws at you.

she'll most likely call you an a$$ and be on her way.
