when a girl said this about me:
What a guy
What a guy
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Is this your girlfriend? Please say yes, or I think I'll bang my head into the wall, lolFlirty I suprised her today with a delivered dinner. She works long hours and had something going on tonight.
^^This is probably best. But if you must respond:Nothing.
I sincerely hope this chick is your girlfriend. Please say she's your girlfriend.Flirty I suprised her today with a delivered dinner. She works long hours and had something going on tonight.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
LMAO!!! We just pretty much said the same thing...I sincerely hope this chick is your girlfriend. Please say she's your girlfriend.
Yeah, I saw that. After I posted my reply.LMAO!!! We just pretty much said the same thing...
You didn't do yourself any favors, I'll say that...No shes not. Did I mess up? I've been dating her for 2 months

Define "dating."No shes not. Did I mess up? I've been dating her for 2 months
Have you fvcked her?We've been out on 8-9 dates, and I've cut off com. with my other ladies. I do like her alot, which is uncharted terrority for me.
I guess it was a stupid idea, because i just showed her I cared.
