"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
