"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.

Yo,

Don Juan wise, is it good to make friend contacts with girls to meet their friends?
 

"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.

The short answer is hell yes. It's always a good idea to expand your network of girls.

Always, its the same principal as you will never get hit on by girls more than when you have a girlfriend.

If you are friends with a girl and have proven that your not a horndog and try to get in her pants, she will tell all her single friends that she has this great guy that they should meet. Women love to be match maker for their friends, so if your the catch, you'll have plenty of bait to eat up.

If you're looking for a wife then sure. There is no quicker way to the altar than dating a FOAF (friend of a friend), except for maybe dating a FOTF (friend of the family). When you combine your social circle with your dating circle, it tends to rope you into one long term monogamous committed relationship. Because if you ditch the girl or she ditches you, you have to give up many of your mutual friends as well, some of whom will choose her, some of whom will choose you.

I have a couple of female friends who are very cool and funny and whom I have no attraction for but like to grab a beer with on occasion. I always tell them not to insult me by trying to set me up with anyone. I do not mix dating and social circles because I like to be free to dump chicks I'm seeing without it affecting my friends.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Yes but make sure that you get something out of it and not wasting your time. Also remember that if your little friend has any romantic interest in you, she will c@#*block the heck out of you when you're near her friends.
