"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.

I'm so stupid.

Last night I was out drinking with some friends, who took off to this dance club that I'd rather not deal with. So, I stayed and had a few too many drinks on my own.

I ran into this girl I vaguely know, who was there with her boyfriend, but she was buying me drinks, so what the hell! Plus the bartender seems to be in love with me, as she kept hooking me up all night. More inebriation.

Anyway, I took out my phone to send a text to this girl I'm seeing. A bit later I realized that I had sent the message to this AW I was hanging out with a few months ago. Her name was right above the other one. I don't know why I still cling to her number. Things ended pretty poorly with us. Definately not on good terms, and I haven't seen her in months.

To make things even worse, I sent another message to her, telling her to pay no mind to my previous message (which was in Spanish anyway, so I doubt she understood it).

Now I feel like an idiot, and she, the humorless ice bltch that she is, didn't even send a response.

So yeah, take the battery out of your phone when you're out drinking or something.
 

"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.

or how bout you simply make sure you send text messages to the right person. having your phone on you at bars is key. then you don't have to grab a pen if you get a girls #. don't blame your mistake on having your phone on you.

Either that or she was doing exactly what you said and paying no mind!:D
