"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 finally walked away from a girl that has been causing me a mess of trouble for 3 months :up: . This girl was the same one I posted about a few weeks ago. Not to mention all the other negative things about her, I found out she was pursuing other guys. I told her she couldn’t give me what I wanted (a committed relationship/trust) and walked out of her life.

It seems now that I have second thoughts about walking away from her. This is really the first time I stood up for what I believe was right and walked away from a girl I really liked. I truly believe I made the right decision, but I still think about her and the times we shared. These thoughts eventually lead to doubt. Is this normal? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

"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.

Yeah, they are normal for someone who hasn't had that many relationships/flings.

If this were your 15th or 20th girlfriend, you wouldn't be having these doubting thoughts. It would all kinda blend together with the memories of the other girls.

I don't know your age, but I'm guessing you need to dump or be dumped a dozen more times before you find someone who's even close to being worthwhile.

We all go through this: it's like you did so much WORK on that realationship! All this gaming and thinkning and conversation for nothing.

But it wasn't for nothing. It's like college classes. You don't get paid to learn, but it'll help you out down the road.
