"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.

please bare with me, im gonna try and make this as short as i can.

With the help of this site, got a gf at my senior year. It lasted until the end of the school year, im a graduate and shes a senior now so its over. We decide to give it 'closure' but it was hard for me to move on ( i know..****in chump) coz while she was gone for summer, i was stuck here doing nothin coz my family was gonna move. but we got delayed to the point where she arrived three days before i leave.

i still have some feelings for her and my instincts tell me she does, but shes acting like she doesn't to protect herself. shes done something similar in the past (during our relationship) coz she was 'scared to lose me'. long story short: i called her on it, said im not the kind of person to take this kind of bull****, gonna break up, she apologized and all was fine.

Anyways she arrives and calls me. i acted as my usual self and started busting jokes on her coz her english had gotten worse (english is her 2nd lang). she was laughing a lot and calling me names she would call me when we were in a relationship. id tell her to stop because we arent anymore but i thought it would make things too awkward. I told her that there was something different abt her voice and it wasnt her english but i couldnt figure out what it was.

Anyways, (iv been abusing that word) she asks if i wanna meet up and go to a sheesha/hookah cafe with her and my friend who we'll call Joe. Joe WAS one of my close friends and knows ill be leaving soon. he even said we'll do something before i leave for good but he disappears without a trace and now is makin plans to hang out with my ex without me knowing. am i right to think hes a ****ing backstabber?

i call her and shes already out with him at the cafe but before i could say anything she just BURSTS out laughing for like 1 minute straight. i ask whats so funny? she says i cant tell u, joe would kill me. somehow i think it could be related to me. mother****er, this girl kept nothing from me. me being pissed and crushed, i replied: i wont be meeting up with u guys, im not in the mood for sheesha and it would be awkward. She replies: i dont think its awkward, im fine. This irritates me and i replied: stop acting so high and mighty, i can make it awkward....btw i found out what was missing in ur voice. she says: "what?" i reply: "affection." Her Response: "......" i said bye and hung up. did i do the right thing? should i have gone? i find out they went to her house to hang out after. as far as i know im the only guy that shes had over. **** maybe im thinking too much into this joe guy but i cant help feeling betrayed.

LAST PARAGRAPH. so i go out with another friend and come back home. i get a message from her: "Im sorry i was acting wierd, i would love to see u before u leave. i miss u..." ****ING MIXED MESSAGES :cuss: and my instincts were right! now...WTF DO I DO? do i just tell her no? do i see her? if i do see her what do i do? what should i say?! how should i act? iv gone way too rusty, feel free to be hard on me, im going to use this experience to improve myself.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Walk away. Go no contact. Don't do it to get her back, do it to get over her. It will be hard but enough time away from someone will make you forget about them. Remember that just about everyone goes through it.

Seems like she simply wants to get it on before you get out.
Perhaps that's why she had your "friend" over. She might be having emotional problems, but it seems as though she just wants some.
But, i don't know her. And, by the way, i think you did the right thing.
Dont contact her unless you only want to get it on too.
Get jiggy wit it, ya know?:D

yea, took the advice and just moved on. i feel much better and im back to myself again. funny thing is while i was talking to a friend on msn like a week later, she comes online and starts talking to me even though we've both been online at the same time a few times before. apparently its only because one of my old teachers wants to know how i was doing and thot that he could contact me thru her. gave her an excuse to talk to me is what i think. nywys i told her she was a ray of sunshine (sarcasm) because she was very timid while chatting. then out of the blue she says she is really lonely and misses me. my reply: "its just memories at this point." end of convo. booyah, thanks for the help guys.:D
 

"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.
