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'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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Then stop. Everything is earned. Do you do sh1t for other friends even though they never help you out? Probably not, so why do it for her? She hasn't earned crap. Just stop doing them. And if she suddenly wants to break up or has the nerve to b1tch that you stopped even though she does none of this things for you, then good riddance.Rudy_TubeSteak said:It is things like giving my girl a backrub, going to places, always initiating things to do, having all the ideas, lead all the sexual stuff on and other generous crap. I mean if I always do a sh*tload more things than her and she hardly returns the favour
Then stop calling.I am having problems like:
• Phonecalls: I am always ringing her more times than I do.
Gah... they just don't care about the responsibility and want to make you do it because why should their pretty little heads risk slight rejection?• Initiating Sex: My girl never once initiated sex. She states that she’s not the type of person to lead to sex. I mean we’ve been going out for quite a while I don’t think she’s doing it to make it look like she’s not a sl*t.
