"Blank Mind on Dates? She's Dropping Hints You Keep Missing"
The plates get cleared and the silence lands like a brick. You can feel her waiting. Your brain offers up your commute, your job, the weather — topics that have ended more second dates than bad breath.
Here's what most guys never learn: women hand out free conversational material all night long. Tiny clues about what they actually want to discuss. Catch them and you never run out of things to say — because she's telling you what to say next.
Rule 4 of the "22 Rules" trains your ear to catch every single one.
exclusive?

"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.

.......That'll shut her up. Man I watch to much Blue collar comedy....hehehe.
On a serious note is there some reason you wouldn't want to be exclusive with her?
Talk to her. You both agreed to not get emotionaly attached and just have physical pleasure. She broke the rules of ****buddies.
Now if you did not talk and set rules and it just happened.. Talk to her about what you want and what she wants. You told us you didn't want to be exclusive because you're only 17. What I read was you believe the responsibilities are too large and you don't want to deal with it. That's a challenge Don Juan. A challenge you're backing down from.
"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.
it is not responsibility holding me back. its just there are so many chicks i wanna be with u know?
i am not ready to settle down at 17.
we agreed to be fb cuz that is what i wanted. i guess she went along hoping it would turn into a more serious relationship.
