"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.

Just wondering how much slack you give in a situation to keep control.

Baby girl calls me up and wants to go out but she wouldn't set up a time later that night. She said she'll call me when she's ready. I said 'ummm that sucks, so lets set a time because I don't like sitting around."

She acts retarded and I say whatever, give me a call. Right after that I purposly left my phone in my car and came upstiars to lift and mess around on the computer.

Sucks turning down such a beautiful girl but...

She'll learn my time is valuable.
 

"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.

Hmm, then again.

Just grabbed my phone after not talking to her for a few hours and she had left like 8 messages.

I think she learned her lesson so I told her I went surfing and stopped by a buddy's house because I didn't feel like sitting around.

That way she knows and I still go on the date.

yeah I like where you went with that but remember to frame these situation with exact wording little semantic differences like death tax and estate tax make a big difference in peoples' cognitive interpretations. So next time this comes say "look I got a lot going on in my life [u always should btw] and I dont' slow down for someone who is not dependable...ever" of course personalize it...DeAngelo recommends laying down the law up front "Two things I don't put up with are people who won't respect my time or my property, get it"
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

That would be kind of hard to throw out there without sounding too harsh.

This girl isn't worth it anyway she's on a break from her ex and I'm moving outta town. Later guys I'll check back on the board in a week- off to New Orleans! Time to get laid.

I've always felt it best to SHOW people how you are instead of TELLING them.

Leaving your phone in the car and letting her leave 8 messages is fine. You don't need to TELL her all that corny "my time is a valuable commodity" crap. If you ACT that way she'll get the picture.
