"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.

Had a dream about my ex today, couldn't stop thinking about her all day. Even cried a bit as ridiculous as it might sound. I'm 20 and she was my only gf.
Cheer me up guys?
Some wisdom from you elder fellows maybe?

This song explains how i'm feeling right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z7PEMelH0c
 

"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.

This is easy. Stop listening to music like that. Especially how sh!tty it is.

Second, you WILL get through this. Know why? You have no choice. But, what you can control is how easy and short it is.

Dreams suck. They can be very vivid and undo a lot of progress. Been there. Know what though, SHE has those dreams too buddy. Probably shows you in a great light. Probably better than you could if you ran into her. Enjoy that sentiment. I just had a girl I dated in highschool reach out to me because of a dream.

You will find a better girl soon enough. Either shell be nicer, or hotter. Maybe both. Just dont ever play her any of that horriable, whining, dying lamb of music you like.

If you want that to happen sooner than later you need to start helping yourself cheer up. These are just words here, and I hope they help, but you need action.

You need the formula we always talk about around here. Read my other posts for deatils.

GYM six days a week.
Excel at hobbies and work with renewd vigor.
Talk to other girls. Right away. Spin Plates.
Volunteer. And or join a club.

Holy Crap! I just realized you live in Brazil! Dude, youll find a nice new girl tomorrow! Just walk outside!

Here if you need me further.

By the way, its not ridiculous to cry. Its healty and healing. Just dont do it in the grocery store or with a woman. If you spend your whole life choking back a good cry you are going to go mental. Dont do that. The body know what its doing. You just control the timing if you can.

Every woman I was ever sad about not having when I was your age is now old and fat, or at least old and wrinkled. None of them are attractive.

Boys chase women
Men chase their goals/career.

Always remember this when you are feeling down.
 

"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.

Don't worry. I'm not dumb enough to send songs to girls.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
It's funny because in a few months you will look back on this situation and laugh it off. Then you will say to yourself, "Why did I waste so much time feeling down on myself and thinking about that crap?". It truly is funny how irrelevant certain "big" events are in our lives, we place so much immediate value on them at that point in time, as if it is a life or death situation. However, months from now, it will just be a funny chuckle of a memory.

Stay up brother.

Think of her getting DPed by 2 black dudes. You feel sad at first but the more think about it the more numb you will be and you will let go sooner.
