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.
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.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.

Getting women is a numbers game. Everyone has different tastes. Some girls like big guys and some guys like big girls. If you have ever been in sales, then it's exactly like that. You find the person who is looking for what you're selling- which is you.Genius500 said:

Thanks Desdinova! I pretty much did ignore the nay sayers, and yea I was rusty as can be. But, lol that you say 10 years younger I'm actually going out with a girl tomorrow who is exactly that - 10 years younger and blonder! Living well is the best revenge!Desdinova said:I thought your name looked familiar; Welcome back after a long absence! Ignore the petty bickering above
13 years is a long fvcking time, and might I add congrats at making it that far! Her days of expiry are upon her. Time to get a nice fresh piece of ass who's 10 years younger than her
You're going to be rusty as hell at seduction from being out of the game for so long, but keep plugging at it. It takes a bit to get back into the groove of interacting with women who don't know you. Nice to see you're getting out there instead of attempting the cesspool of online dating.
