"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.

I've been in a relationship for 2 years. She is from a conservative country. In her culture women and men aren't supposed to live together before getting married. We've been living together for the last year. Due to immigration and visa restrictions we have to make a decision regarding whether we should stay together or not. Staying together means that we will probably have to get married.

She is now pushing to get married. The problem is I don't know if I'm ready. I know I could live with her but I'm not sure if that is enough. I do love her, but it feels more like I love her like a sister. I don't want her to go back to her country and be ridiculed by family, friends and other judgmental people because we have lived together without being married. I should say that she has had several boyfriends before me and was close to getting married but she said she wasn't ready. To save her from ridicule would mean me sacrificing my freedom and other dreams. What do I do?

I feel like I haven't lived enough of the single life. There is so much temptation. The curiousity is killing me.

"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.
