"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 just got back from meeting up with this girl, long story short she said she has oral herpes from babies spitting at her face (She studied early childhood education) I don't think I have herpes. I remember having pimples, atleast thats what i thought at the time on my upper lips.

They say 80% of the general adult population has it, I know eventually I'll catch it with some other girl so it doent matter if its now or later. What matters is if my body can keep the herpes dormant.

What do you guys think?
 

"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.

Well am pretty sure she doesn't know better, plus its safe to assume she kisses the babies too.

I'm grateful my azz don't have it....
 

"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.

What do you guys think?
LOL, that sounds like BS. She probably told you that because you wouldn't wanna know what guys have been "spitting" on her face.

From what I know of her, she said she has been in only 2 relationship and she is 25. Also her character does not seem like she messes around with random guys. Anyway that's beside the point.

Should I next her? ask her to let me know if she is having a breakout or not before kissing? dammit finally a girl i really like and I get this crap.

Dude, didn't you just say you just got back from meeting her? You already think you have a fair assessment of her "character" and you already really like her? Sounds to me like a case of oneitis developing.

I would personally not risk it. May sound cruel but herpes are for life.

At first I thought you wrote that dudes were spiting their babies @ her face
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

ahahhahah


Well its a hard decision man... There are many girls out there that have it so there is a pretty good chance that you could hook up with a random girl that will give it to you later on. Atleast she was honest with you, do some research i believe you can only catch it when she is braking out... i dunno.

The OP and a few responders should research the difference between genital and oral herpes since they're being discussed as if they're the same condition.

"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.

Jeezus!

She just told you she gets cold sores. That's it!

Tell her about Lipactin (get it at the drugstore) and live life.

This isn't a big deal, and does not imply any slutty habits.

Most people have it/will get it, without symptoms. You probably already have it. Just make sure that if she's breaking out with a cold sore to use caution (I wouldn't let her near my wang.)
 

"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.
