"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.

There's this girl at my school who I have a crush on and her b-days coming up (no, we're not tgether yet)...I casually asked her what she wanted for her birthday, expecting her to say something like "nothing really." But she comes out with "well...no food and no lotion or perfume..."

Damn. :D Now I'm basically obligated to get her something. Are there any ideas on what to get her? I don't want it to be something too romantic (it'd seem wierd since we're not in a relationship...yet), but I don't want to give her something to FRIEND-ish (nothing stupid...)

Any ideas? I was thinking maybe a stuffed animal or jewelry but I don't know.
 

"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.

If your close, then maybe a card with something funny in it. But generally dont spend your money on girls.

I'm not trying to buy her love or anything. Jesus...I'm just trying not look like some cheap ass. I was thinking of getting her something relatively small. I don't know what school you guys go/went to or who your friends are, but over here they make a big deal out of birthdays (bringing signs, balloons, and presents to school). Plus, she gave me something for my birthday which was a few weeks ago...I want to show her that I put at least a little thought into her 16th b-day

hey, im in same position kinda, this girl is turnin 15 soon. But me and her have been hangin out, makin out. Nothing to serious....But my thinkin is im prob not gonna get her much. Cuz when u give girls to much they want more.
 

"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.

go to a dollar store, get a basket and put in a bag of candy, a bottle of lotion, and a little thing of cheap perfume.

$3.00 later you have a joke and a present in one.
