"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.

So me and my gf have been having problems lately.. (we've both been kind of ignoring each other) and she messaged me on myspace friday and asked me "What's going on between us?" and I just basically told her straight up that I didn't feel like I've been getting the time I deserve, and that I'm always persueing.. and she never makes an attempt to see me. I logged on today and I know she saw it, it went from "sent" to "read" but she never replied back. So idk what the deal is.. I feel like she doesn't give a ****. To an extent, I don't give a **** either.. but there's still a part of me that wants/wanted(?) it to work. How do I just stop caring? I'm tired of her having such a hold on my thoughts.
 

"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.

Hey dude sorry to hear that. I had a similiar situation happen to me not too long ago that is why I am here on this site.


U must face the facts she probably only like u as a friend. What u need to do to get over her is keep active, join a healthclub, take martial art.

If u start to look better u will feel better. The best remedy is to hook up with other girls.'


Best of luck to you dude.

Not caring isn't going to get you out of your situation. Of course you want it to work but look around you, you guys can't even communicate with each other directly. Neither one of you are putting forth any effort to make things work so why waste energy as if you two are in a relationship? Quit trying to avoid the situation by attempting not to care about it, get up and do something!
