"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.

i've gotten so many excuses from girls.
i can't tell the real ones from the fake ones.
basically, if she says no cause she has something else to do, and then doesn't counter-offer, i just leave her alone.

how can i tell the difference between real and fake excuses?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Let me take a guess at the kind of excuses you get. Whenever you try to hang out with her or set up a date she says,"Well,I can't because I am going to be with my friend that day",or "I have to work",or "I have to spend time with my family"or (and this is my favorite) "I'm busy". Are these the kind of excuses you get?

your job is to offer a date..her job is to accept..if she is real busy then it's a timing issue.

If she doesn't counter the offer it means that she has IL...

Remember the one who interest will call back....

It doesn't matter whether her excuses are real or fake; the bottom line is your hand will be keeping you company that night.

Don't worry whether they are real or fake; focus on WHY you are getting any excuses at all.

And yes, if her IL is high, she'll counter offer 95% of the time.
yeah i understand.
so how can i get them more interested.

+ i'm guessing this isn't a question that can be answered in a sentence or two.
i need to go back to step one and fix myself.
 

"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.

Well,unfortunately,DonS is right. What you need to focus on is WHY you are getting these excuses,because there is a reason. But to be honest, the answer is pretty simple. She doesn't want to spend time with you. It really is just that simple. But if she doesn't want to hang out with you,that means that somewhere during the approach while you were talking to her,you made a mistake. The best thing to do would be to examine the approach to see where (if anywhere) you made an error. Trust me, this is something you want to do. The last thing you want is to spend the next 3 years running into this same problem over and over again with girl after girl,only to find out that it was something easily correctable.

You could just SAY, "Hey, is that just an excuse or not?" lol

Seriously, the best you can do is come up with another random day. If she gives you TWO excuses in one converstation it's time to back out.

aight i'm gonna go through the bible and rethink about some stuff.

but does anyone have ideas on where us guys can go wrong?
i know it's her simply not wanting to spend time with me.
but give me example of what i should do.
simply telling me to be more attractive or outgoing is not gonna help.
