"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.

Found this on another forum...made me chuckle inside...


I met this lady a few months ago, she didn't want to give me her phone number when i asked, but offered me her email instead. Since then we have exchanged lots of emails (almost daily) and have been on a couple of dates (One lunch date and a dancing date). After the second date, she told me she had a few tough weeks ahead of her (she is in medical school and has a full time job at the same time) and she wouldn't be very available for anything.

A few days ago, after not hearing from her for a while, i called one of those flower shops and have them deliver her some really nice flowers (no roses) at her office.
She responded to me with an email where she thanked me for the flowers, praised the choice i made.
She then went on to say that her life is too crazy and she didn't think anyone can put up with her...She said, she couldn't offer me more than her friendship ...Then she concluded by asking me to let her know, if she was being too harsh ...
I would like anyone's input on the followings:
1. Was it ok for me to send her flowers at this stage? When should a man give a lady flowers? What's your experience?
2. Should i move on and/or continue looking elsewhere?

Input welcome ... especially from ladies...
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I don't really come here for advice per se as I'm very confident and have the whole picking up girls thing down very well...I just like reading about other people's experiences and learning from the mistakes of others and giving my two cents where I think I can help. Found this forum in an old thread where someone was looking for a forum frequented by women. I went there and browsed around, and it's funny cause the women seem to be just as clueless as men. Gives a good insight into the dating scene as a whole. Worth checking out in my opinion...lots of AFC's and good examples of what not to do. Like one guy was out with a girl three times and wondering when he should tell her how much he cares about her and make their relationship exclusive. Ouch! Seriously thinking about making an account and giving some of these guys advice that will help them out.

Maybe he should ask himself if he was being a pvssy.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

And the flowers were the icing on the cake, but the most disturbing thing to me was how she didn't give him her phone number at first and they exchange some friendly emails, go on a day "date" and dancing, after which she says she's busy and won't have time to do anything with him and even goes as far as to say all she's offering him is friendship, and for some reason he thinks she's into him. Some people live in an altered state of reality. If you follow the thread, he gets responded to by two girls, both who tell him that sending flowers was the right thing to do.
