"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Girl asks if you have girlfriend

Okay, so I know this girl. I'd met her once or twice before this but nothing more than in passing. So we're chilling at the beach with a bunch of other people the other night and we start talking. Eventually we're sitting together and she asks if I've got a girlfriend. I didn't use any lines and just told her that I didn't. So I hesitantly bit the bullet and asked her if she had a boyfriend. I was sure she did, and she confirmed it.

Now, as soon as I asked, she started telling me how it's not going well and she think he's an *******. We spent more time together, drank, walked on the beach and all that. She was distant (shy) but now I'm curious.

I've done this before (bagging girls who have ******* boyfriends), and I'm pretty sure I can do it again. But the odd thing is that she actually asked if I had a girlfriend first and seemed pretty interested in knowing why.

What do you guys think? I try not to break up relationships (although if your girl is going to rail other guys, you are probably deserving of it anyway). Should I leave this one alone or go for it? Is she interested?
 

"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.

A lot of chicks will try to find a new boyfriend before they get rid of the current one. It sounds like she's shopping. No reason you shouldn't pursue her if you like her.

Don't listen to too much about her currently relationship and crap like that though. You'll "good listener" your way right into the friend zone. Try to get some kino going or something. You should've said you have a couple gf's, hahah. That would probably have got her interest.

On Point was just that when he talked about introducing and escalating KINO.

She IS for a fact interested in you. I'm 100% postive because I've personally seen this exact scenerio many times. :p

Try not to overanalyze why she asked you if you had a girlfriend. Does she want a new boyfriend? We don't know yet. But the REASON she asked you is because she is interested in you in some way. She wants you and will escalate with you. The only question remains: will you call her up and ask her out?

Once, a woman did indeed ask me that.

I said "Why? Are you interested?"

She pauses and then says "I was just wondering."


So I'm inclined to think it doesn't mean much.

Well, I didn't use a line like that for precisely that reason. I don't think a girl with a boyfriend would want to proclaim that she's looking for other guys on the spot.
 

"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.

Perhaps, but does than necessarily mean that she's available? There's a difference between a woman who's interested and one who's intrigued.

just pursue her and act like she doesn't have a boyfriend, if she gives up the ***** be sure to not get serious with her, because she will do the same thing to you.

KNOW THIS: girls make no sense; you can't ever try and figure out what's going on in their heads. (I stopped trying and life was much easier for me because of it.) Sometimes girls just want to know if you're seeing anybody, especially if they consider you attractive. Most girls assume attractive guys would be paired up just like they are. There are a bunch of reasons for why girls do stuff. If you want to make a move DO IT, if you don't, leave it alone and be prepared to deal with being passive.
