"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.

A while back my mrs finds out she;s caught clamidia - I caught the swirv ball and had no idea I had it myself. We both got treated - done, or so you'd think...

6 months on, and now she has gone an gotten a HIV test. She didnt discuss the decision with me first, and just went ahead and booked it. I thought this was selfish, seeing as the result affects not just her, but me too. Either way I support her decision.

anyway, she gets the results in the next couple of days. She;s got herself so hettup and is in a bad place thinking about it so much. We live together and she's acting real funny about it.

She's asked me to go if i'm free. I'm not sure whether I should go too, after typing this out, I think I need to go.

life's great isnt it....

any advice or thoughts??
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

How do you feel about her and your relationship? If you are still invested in making this relationship work and trying to overcome the problems of the past then go. If you are just waiting to find out if you are clean before you dump her...then still go or not go. You go because you WANT to.

Who cheated on who? When the chlamydia was discovered there should have been a thorough STD test done. Are you two in some kind of "open" relationship or something?

there has been no cheating - we were seperated for a few weeks over a year ago, and a different girlfriend gave it to me.

cannot totally blame this other girlfriend that gave it to me as I should have insisted we always use protection.

lesson learnt, unless you've both had a thorough STD test, keep that rubber on regardless of whether she's on the pill.

Unfortunately we only got tested for the normal STDs and not HIV. hence why we are here again a year later. should have got the full test at the time when it was offered.
 

"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.
