"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 was talking to my friend about how i ****ed everything up and then it came to me. like the blinding like on the road to damaskus. it hit me like a freight train. What I was doing wrong and why.

i know this is the early stages. I know i have much more work to be done. This is defiantly the right step.

Here are some things I learned.

Life is complicated if you make it.


don't try and change the pass, live the present and change the future.

roll the dice.

if she doesn’t want to talk that’s cool too.

she will let you know if she wants to do things.

Don't over think it.

It’s never over unless I say it is

doing get in that mood

(this is more a personal reminder to me to stop getting in bad moods. like i have been of late.)

i feel like a changed man. Which is what I wanted to do. and yes i know this is ONLY the FIRST step in a long road. At least now I know I am on the right road and not on the wrong one.

If anyone wants to and some more. Feel free
 

"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.

that's nice that you had an epiphany, but it's all a bunch of useless words unless you do something about it.

"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.
