"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 know someone who got rejected twice by the same women, but not three times

I know this guy who worked with a girl. He asked her out three times. The first two times, she rejected him. The third time, she accepted. This was over 5 years ago and they're still together.

Explain.
 

"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.

His character and personality won over her lack of physical attraction!!

I don't have any more information about this, unfortunately, but they seem to be very happy with each other.

I can also see this happening in some other situations. Say, at a bank, I can picture a guy asking out a teller and getting rejected but then on other trip (he goes there regularly) he gets her number. He makes "an impression on her."

Between rejection #2 and rejection #3, HER no.1 prospect rejected HER.

I believe it has to do with confidence...... the same thing happend to me with a woman at work. She was easily, the most attractive blonde there, and guys would usually be at her beckoning. I remember making a comment about how it was amazing that she doesn't have someone in her life, she brushed it off. Time went by, and except for little bits of info I would drop on her about my intentions, she was not interested. One night after work, I asked her out for a few drinks, she gladly accepted... I think it was on a Wednesday, and this bar, was really slow. They had a small band, and we BS'd, joked, danced, played pool, and in the end, we ended up locking lips outside our cars. Of course I played it smooth the next day, and pretended that nothing happend, and her interest grew even stronger, to the point of leaving notes on desk, and asking me out. We went out again, and it was actually a date... and I found her to be extrememly boring, and instead of finishing up our date at a comedy club, I drove her home, and left for my present gf's house. :) ....well, I didn't leave until I got some T & A first, which she gave up surprisingly enough, even after I told her that I was canceling the rest of our date.

She no longer works at my job, but from time to time, she'll drop by my office to see how the Pimp is doing.... when she heard I was a father, she popped in to see my son.... I can tell she wants one too. ;)
