Talking to this chick and things are going well. She text my asking if I have ever cheated on any of my girlfriends. I never have and looking for any good texts to send back to her and not be like every guy and say no no im sooo loyal etc etc....
"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.
girl texts "have you cheated on any of your girlfriends?"
- Thread starter Err0r
- Start date
"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.

This is why I don't text, and why you should stop.

Stop texting girls completely. Keep it at 2-3 and only text to set up a date/make sure she's on her way and you will avoid problems like this. Text her this "Maybe I'll tell you next year ;-)." and leave it at that. Change the subject and set up a date. Don't be a Beta.

If a girl had asked me that,I'd be like...Err0r said:
"Have I ever cheated on a girlfriend? Well yeah,of course I have. In fact,I've cheated on every girlfriend I've ever had. I hope that's not going to be a problem,is it?".
Remember,when it comes to dating,women are emotional,not LOGICAL.
You'd think that saying something like that would cause her to lose interest in you,but more than likely,she'd just be intrigued.
First,she'd wonder why you'd say something like that to her. She'd be like,"Hmm,well he's obviously not trying to win me over to be saying something like that". And if she's hot,then she'd wonder why you're not trying to win her over.
You think something like this would seperate you from all the other guys out there?
"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.

The irony that igetit doesnt get it...
You can't say that in text. Without obvious sarcasm that's not funny, it's true. And that's a turn off in every way.
The right answer is just to say "no, I don't cheat." then change the subject. You don't need to explain yourself, just answer the question.

I'd like to get to the point where I could say this:
"Yes, I have. In fact, I'm cheating on you right now."
"Yes, I have. In fact, I'm cheating on you right now."
no im definitely with igetit on this one. except htere is one thing you have to have and that is a understanding from her that you like to joke around. if you are serious with her all the time in person, she is going to see that side of you in text, no matter how ridiculous the line is

lmao, well if you never replied to her do not reply, pretend that you did not get the message or you "do not have texting on ur fone"
"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.
Whatever you say, be honest and make it clear you don't condone cheating either from yourself or your girl (if that is true!). If you're looking for a relationship then it HAS to be two-way.
If you don't cheat yet your girl thinks you will accept it, it's no good. Don't just say your loyal for the sake of loyalty. You are loyal to your friends and who return it
You can do better than just simply saying no or whatever

The problem with replies here is that far too many guys are suggesting some "****y funny" reply that is apparently supposed to be "alpha" but just sounds lame.
You don't have to deal with answering, but basically I'd just say no. Why is any "****y" bullsh1t needed here. Just say no and brush it off completely. As in, what Salamence said
you can also say what horaholic said for a laugh but really is just as good to say no.

"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.

Yep and "NO" is a straight forward answer, you don't need to waffle and for goodness shakes man stop with the texting, phone her and communicate through voice and not words on a screen. Just ring her and answer her question and make small talk afterwards.Julian said:

be honest,
on a side note she is probably asking because she has been cheated on in the past and she has low-self esteem. if you really like her then you can build her up but if she has trust issues already this is probably gonna give u a huge headache and she will be more likely to cheat on u 2

When I first read the question, my gut told me to pull C+F out and make a joke about it. But I totally understand that it can be taken bad over text.
Instead, I'm going with captain here. Feel free to ignore texts. Especially this one. It will get her thinking, worrying, emotional. That's good. She WILL bring it up in conversation again, and in person or over the phone, you can pull out the C+F and put a good spin on it. Or you can get very serious and basically shove it back on her and say that you don't stand for any cheating. Both sides are very valid.
What I wouldn't do is just straight up answer no (or straight up answer yes). It does nothing for you, far as i can see. Make it work for you.

"I have cheated HAHAHA that's f*cking hilarious mate". Jesus H Christ man, how can you make a simple yes or no question work for you other than answering yes or no?scrouds said:

reply with exactly this:
"Well i see all my ex's got to you too. it only happened 8 times, can't a guy get a break geeez!"
then wait like 5 minutes and text her this:
"lol j/k...if you wanna know all about me darling, then you're gonna have to ask me in person and tell me all about you too"
