"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.

No ****, right?

I cheated on my girlfriend, and though I was totally in the wrong, i won't go into details, but it's a less bad than it seems. Anyhow, I've learned my lesson. It'll never happen again.

Anyhow, although she definitely wants to work it out, and we're even considering couple's therapy, I've noticed some changes.


She's buying other little things.
She's buying new clothes. She's buying new fake eyelashes she's never had before (but she did wear them that night at a party we both went to.)
She wants to start tanning.

Do you guys think this is a pickmeup confidence builder for her, or her just sticking around with me until she's back into tip top dating shape before dumping me?

Thanks
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Dude, you raised the stakes. Now you have to play the game. It's YOU she's picking up, after she lost you. Try to be a catch worth the effort. :)

I think she's trying to look good to keep you.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

No.. she found out.. And ever since, she's wanted to be around me every day.. Which I have allowed, since I ****ed up. Last two days have been pretty hard, though. I think she's trying to "punish me"...Anyone else dealt with that.

Thanks for the advice, by the way.

Yeah, if she's sticking around then she's prolly just trying to improve herself so that you won't wanna cheat next time
