"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.

Girls claim "I haven't had sex since" (....)

While talking, girls quite often (almost all of them say, for instance):

"Jeez, I haven't got laid in two weeks" (hinting that she wants sex)
"This is the first time I've been at a boys house since my ex and I broke up"
"I haven't had sex since I broke up with my boyfriend"
Also, a girl that lost his boyfriend because of suicide claimed she hadn't been with another guy than me since he died, even though it went about 3 months before we met, and 2 months before we got committed to each other.And this was a very sexual girl.

etc.

Also, if they somehow ditch me or something (which has happened from time to time), it's always "I don't want any other guy either, I don't know what is happening with me, but I don't even want to be with a guy physically".

For instance, the girl with the suicide issues said she couldn't be with me because she needed to deal with her ex who died and couldn't be with another guy in that process. I found it a bit strange since we already were.

Practically all the girls I've been with says that they haven't had sex with another guy since the breakup, and I am the first. Is that
just standard replies from girls? It seems a bit strange that they all say this.
 

"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.

They're all lying... Some of them might actually be telling the truth but the great majority of them is just lying to you. If this really happens so much to you, it might be that you possess certain personality traits that make them think this lie is a good way to win you over (that it works well on you in particular, whereas it won't work that well on other guys)

Or you just attract girls with this particular "sex-issue"...

Let us say that is true, why would they think that?

Obviously if that happens a lot to you, girls are just molding themselves to fit your behavior. Just by raising this question shows that this is a big deal for you. They are saying THIS because you're asking.

If you don't ask, and just let them open themselves by not judging them, you will find the true answer.

The usual board cynicism apart, suicide causes long-term relationship issue to the spouse. Three months without sex is NOTHING for someone who lost their partner to suicide, and just doubting that shows that the real issue here is not them.

Sorry if this sounds too direct...

Never mentioned it or posed a question about it. Ever.
That is why I find it so odd.

Well, I met her on the dance floor after several years and we just started dancing and touching each other immediately. It was only later that night she told me.

So it didn't seem like she had any confusing thoughts about being intimate with a guy.

The thing is that she said afterwards when things went downhill that she couldn't be with me anymore because of that incident. It was no problem when things went great between us, at least not a major problem. And besides she had (and she admitted this on her own) used him as an excuse before.
So things are not that clear cut.
 

"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.
