"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.

its my girlfriends birthday, and we have been dating for a month exactly.


when it was my birthday she bought me some underwear (as a joke) and a leather bracelt from american eagle. and then she wrote me a letter and stuff...this was before we were goin out,...but it has been a month now.

whats a good idea?

i already decorated her car with toilet paper, and wrote on her mirros, and put hershys kisses everywhere when she was cheerleading at an away game... and she loved it.

but i want to get her something material like because she did for me.
 

"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.

When talks about what she likes, listen and remember. Give her little things that show that you know her. These are often inexpensive items, yet can be very effective gifts.

get her a small ring or some flowers. or even some nice chocolates!
try to keep it simple and not spend too much on her.

I'd have to say though, the best gifts are the ones that you make up; the non-material ones. if you're clever enough she'll probably treasure those the most.

i suggest you buy her a chocolate cake for her birthday.
it's an edible material.... and very tasty.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Maybe you give some flowers or something else she likes. If she likes pets,but she doen't own one since now .A pet (maybe a small dog ) is your good choice.Hope you have a wonderful dating!
