"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.

Help, No more baseball

"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.

You only have one job. Absorb information, and regurgitate it on paper. It's the least you could do. Apparently your mom already set this rule a while ago. You should have been more careful.

Time to grow up. Stop looking for excuses and show a little more responsibility if you want the privilege.

...tell her ur old enough to make your own decisions and that she should be ashamed for taking something you love just because of some stupid grade. If that doesn't work promise her that u'll get a higher GPA if you play baseball and study harder so u will so she cant say anything.

Okay seriously...tell her god damnit that you only get to play baseball for so long and that you want to cherish it. I am in college now and don't get to play anymore and I wish I could relive it every day.

A 3.25 is a good GPA. Seriously, life isn't all about good grades and a good job!!! Money doesn't equal happiness!!

Tell her that stuff, hopefully she'll chill out. Forge her signature at all costs. Baseball is a great sport.

Smack her in the face and call her a b*tch. I hate parents like yours; she needs to f*ckin relax and realize grades arent everything.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Haha. I agree. Tell her baseball makes you happy. Most parents care about their kids happiness.
