"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.

Hey guys. In the very near future, I will probably be meeting up with a girl I NEXT'd (and some other friends) a few months back. Emotionally, I'm still a little tender and I just need some tips on how to handle myself so that things run as smoothly as possible?

thanks. ATH
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Be cool and unaffected by her. Be your normal,nice[if you are] guy[except the hitting on her stuff]. If you act different than usual-she wins. Let her wonder why she has less effect on you than if you accidentally stepped on an ant.

I'm sure it will all be ok baby. Maybe you can pretend you have a life and dont dwell on the past? Kind of like when you have a good time and dont give a phuck.
Thanks. I needed that. Don't worry, one day I'll lose my soul too :up:

Wait a second, you are going to revisit a girl that you "nexted" and you are emotionally a little tender about her?

Am I reading this right?

If YOU nexted her, shouldn't it mean that you are supposed to have the upper hand here?

Are we missing additional information or did you mean to say she "Nexted" you?
 

"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.

Maybe you can bring her a dozen roses, un-next her and make sweet passionate love in the back of your windowless van.:rolleyes:

Well you're obviously a n00b, so you get pass on that emotionally tend bs lol.

If you're meeting up with her and you're still interested (which you obviously are), then make a move. If she accepts the move, then great. If not, you're in the same exact situation you're in right now lol. What's the worst that can happen?

Yeah, let me clarify. Yes, I nexted her, and yes I have the upper hand here, but that doesn't mean I don't have feelings for her. It was hard for me to do this. (Yeah yeah, cry me a fukking river, but let let me have my moment dam it!)

Interesting, I never really thought about it like that.

Thanks guys
