"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.

Female Friend Telling Me I should stick around for Girl

There's a HB7.5 I met, an old college friend of mine. Had some drinks, nothing physical happened. I'm pretty much the only guy she knows so far here. She has a bf of 3 years in another state.

I don't usually deal with girls with boyfriends because it's just not worth it with all the single women out there. But this girl is pretty chill and hot, definitely one of the better girls I've talked to.

I had drinks with her again a few months later, nothing physical, and decided it was a lost cause.

Anyway, I ejected after that, told her to hit me up when things go south with her bf, and was content with my decision. I was telling my other female friend about this story and she told me I should have stuck around.

Her logic is that this HB will only monkey branch when she has something "stable" in this city. That I should've stuck around and saw what happened.

While there is truth in what she said, there is also the truth in that I am pressed for time as it is with all my endeavors and school. I only have room basically to spend my Friday/Saturday nights on single women/women who are available. And there is also the truth that if I stuck around, any hundreds of possibilities can happen after that.

I've also been burned by a similar situation in the past in my AFC days, where I stuck around a taken chick for too long to the point where I was friend zoned even though she showed signs she "liked me" and when she dumped her bf, it was for a random, new guy, not for me. Since then, I've avoided this trap.

However, this female friend's statement is allowing those AFC thoughts to creep in again. What if? What if I stick around? What if I was too harsh in telling her to call me up later?

In my philosophy, it's better to know when it's a lost cause and eject. But her statement is causing those AFC what ifs creeping up again.
 

"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.

Who cares what that girl said. Own your decision and stick with it, you got burned before and you now know better.

A female will rarely want to see you successful with other females. Is she gonna bang and blow you like a porno star when your girl hooks up with some other dude like before? Of course not. She'll throw her hands up in the air and say "tough cookie, buddy, suck it up!"

What she says is equal to zero. Proceed on course.

9 times out of 10 advice from other females is bullsh!t. They're just putting themselves in her shoes and thinking what THEY would want. So of course she would want you to stick around.

Dude, this chick has a boyfriend. There should be no thought in your mind of her 'branch swinging' to meet you on the other end. All that means is that she'll branch swing you after awhile.

The only play here is to be playful with her and make her laugh. Start being more sexual with her and see her reaction. If she reciprocates, then go in for the move.

Best case scenario you lay her. Worst case scenario you realize she was never really sexually interested in the first place. NOW you can move on and stop wasting your time.

This truly is the only play when women are in LTRs. Don't waste your time trying to be the rebound. Your poor little heart won't be able to take it when she's riding the next guy's c0ck.

Well, like I said, I met up with her twice over the last few months. Some kino was applied, but no reciprocation on her end, despite us having a great time. So that's why I told her to get back to me. Figured I'd have a better shot later starting over from scratch if she ever does holla at me.

Cool. Now go 'apply some kino' to some other b!tches.
 

"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.
