"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.

Hey guys,
So im out with three girls and they are all doing kindo on me. Suddenly one of the girls, in a jokish way gives me a slap on the cheek and started laughing. I grabbed her in a funny way (we were mostly just hugging). The point is, suddenly the two of them started giving me slaps on the cheek also laughing :O.

The thing Im wondering is, would you let a girl slap you on the cheek in a jokish way? Or would you see that as if they are going in into your boundaries?

Would you react and become serious? Or would you be calm and laugh it away?

I handle the situation quite calm saying, girls, girls, hands of the merchandise.. and thereafter they started to touch more. I grabbed one of the girls, and said give me your arms and used her arms to block all slaps.:cool:

Best regards

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Based on what you said, it sounds like a positive thing. However, with any such "invasion of personal bubble moments" subtle differences can make it or break it.
Seems to me like they were just Kino-ing you back in a manner that was socially acceptable in a group.

Your reaction was perfect. Couldn't imagine it being better. Sounds fun to be honest.

I'd say you handled it pretty well, there's no reason to get serious over a playful slap unless they were purposely demeaning you. I usually playfully slap them in the ass when they get touchy with me

It can be also that they were testing if he is a joyfull person able to have fun in many ways or one of those who get upset for nothing,and i know many that would have acted different than him.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

all kinds of options to joke around with

slap her ass back

tell her to behave herself and adult supervision is what she needs
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'd go 'is that supposed to hurt' in a joking manner, with a grin on my face. They were obviously joking around.

It's interesting that men cannot get away with a slap on the face, but spanking is definitely on the top 5 things to do in response to this sort of joke.

Happened to me the other night actually. I laughed and said something like, oh I like it.

It was a "love slap", barely a caress.

(Later that night, I came in her mouth.)
