"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.

how do I even start, damn.

Well first lemme explain the dynamic of the relationship, we've been 3 months together, I control the frame, she initiates contact almost everyday (text me "I love you", "I miss you" and lovey dove stuff), I obviously care about her, everything would be perfect but then... red flags;
Even though she post things about us on fb and on my wall, theres something that caught my eye.

-She has posted songs implying that she is "over her ex" (the lyrics she quote, were something like "Now I've found the love of my life, and after all its amazing that we still can be friends")
-The other day she was checking her fb on her phone, I was minding my own bussiness but then I realized that she stills have him marked as "best friend" (you know, the feature where you get notifications of what is the other person doing)
-And a while ago she awared me that her ex tried to contact her (that he missed her and wanted to meet up, to catch up)... her response to his proposal is what got me thinking... she said: "I cant" (was expecting, "I dont want to"... this is by far the strongest red flag)

Now im rethinking everything brahs, im pulling out emotionally of the relationship and im sure she is starting to realize this.

How to approach this situation?
am I overthinking?

Extra info:
im 22, shes 21.
I forgot to add that they broke up like 3 years ago and her ex already has been with his gf for like a year (I didnt even asked for this info, she was sharing it), and he was her first

Need an outsider perspective. (Posted this on the mature forum, but now I cant answer... how to delete it? sorry for that, im new to the forum and still getting used to the dynamic)
 

"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.

Dude, I'm not gonna sugar coat this. Exes are murder. She's still not over him. Song lyrics, contact...come on dude.
Don't marry this girl, and don't get pregnant. First hand experience dude.
Run...

Did he dump her? If so, then yeah, she probably still aint over him at all.

Never compromise your deal-breakers. We all have them.

All men should have a list of deal-breakers for relationships. When a woman does a deal-breaker.. TELL HER that what she is doing is a deal-breaker and if she continues with it.. the relationship will be over like there's no tomorrow. And MEAN IT.

A woman who values you will adjust to your desires. A woman who rebels should be dropped like a hot potato. :kick:

100% of women (no matter how passive, submissive, traditional, or nice) will try to erode your power in the relationship as it continues.

Little known fun fact --> Men bond stronger to things with time.. while women become more detached to things with time.

This is why LONG relationships are usually dominated by the woman.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Good point playher man.

Although I posit that a woman's bond is U-shaped, while a man's bond is an inverted-U shape.

You'll see when you get into a relationship of 2+ years, men's bond peaks by 1-2 years and then subsequently drops off again. Women's bond dips in the middle when she think she has you, but then rises again as yours drops. They are an inverse reflection of you.
