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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well of course those have been tried, I'm speaking of more insane and extravagant ways. I've seen people ask at the school rally or at a sport game. I'm talking extreme.
it really depends on how much you put into it really. Mine cost me something around:Originally posted by Oakley
How much does homecoming **** usually cost? I've never gone before but plan to this year. Anybody got prices for me?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Beggining of October. Always have things planned in advance.Originally posted by Patrick124
^thats awesome. lol. The aucion thing..kinda liek in Roadtrip.
question: Homecoming is October 23rd. I'm already anxious[gotta top last year, because my date from last year ****ed up a good portion of my life for a few monthsdamn oneitis. So I was thinking that early October or late Sept would be a good time to ask, not too early, not too late. WHat do you think would be the best time to ask for me?
^might seem AFC, but Homecomings a big event for me lol. My one year aniversary of deciding I needed to improve.
