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.
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.
ThunderMaverick said:Is it blatant enough for you to hear it when you walk by?
She's not discreet?
Hey...you should try telling her one of these days "Well I'm going to go to sleep. G'night" And have your computer playing porn in the next room while you jerk off to it. She's a freak.
Be a freak and see how she responds.
That's what I would do, anyways.
Thanks guys I really needed a laugh.DavenJuan said:some of the stuff i see on this site is absolutely hilariarous..

See. Too much thinking.1984 said:Like when she says she's going to bed. What am I supposed to do/say to that? I know she's going to her room to masturbate. She definately did last night. She's always so ****ing quick with a response to everything.
Do I just get up and follow her, give her a hug and nibble on her neck, ask her if I can come, ask her which porno she's watching tonight, ask her if she wants to see a naked man?
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.
Good God. Now I want some!!:crackup:iqqi said:LET her go to her room, then go in a few moments after her, and just start... licking. I say licking as opposed to kissing because she might be wanting less intimacy and more hardcore emotionless booty. Go for the neck, like a vampire.
1984 said:I get what you're saying about following the signals and not overthinking. It's only that I can never respond to her well.

On that note, when we've been messing around on the couch (last night it was just tickling, pinching and her smacking me in the face with a pillow for no ****ing reason, so I took it from her for a while), and she goes off to her room to play with herself, does that mean the job is half done, or does it mean that she's bored of me and would rather be in the company of some toys and porn?
I don't mean to overthink any of these things. I wasn't until the other roommate got all serious with me and kind of told me she didn't seem interested in me. She was probably just trying to keep me from getting hurt or something, but my mindset was totally at ease before that.
And as for wanting a relationship with this girl... I really don't know. It would depend on how things go in the future. That's why I want to keep things casual for now. She's generally cool to be around, and she never flakes on me. We spend a lot of time together, but I'm not bored of her. The only problem I'm having is the occasional awkwardness and her whole "I'm going to bed (but I'm really going to masturbate while you sit on the couch watching Family Guy)." routine everynight.
is why you need to do this1984 said:After the movie I guess I got all wierd again, and came on too strong. She told me she was going to bed, told me I was going to my bed, and that was that. Told me to stop being wierd. I mean, I really didn't even say anything by that point, so I just stood there as she stood there looking at me, asking me if I had something to say.
....
I woke up to a text message from her telling me that we need to talk.
I love bad news.
if you want to have any success with her. You can't date someone that your cohabitating with. It takes away all the attraction. You know the prize mentality? aka you are the prize.MacAvoy said:Without thinking too much, if you really like her and want to pursue something with her then you need to move out. You can't live with her and expect the relationship to grow normally or healthy.
Now I've explained what you need to do, the choice is yours, you can either take the advice or you can continue to screw things up. However it may be too late for that.Rollo Tomassi said:I agree. A woman's imagination is a DJ's best tool. Add to this women's attention needs for self affirmation and the feminine competition anxiety dynamic and you really have all you need to maintain the frame. I'm not advocating a ruthless exploitation of all this, but rather to keep it in mind to keep a healthy hold on the frame. Let her imagination work for you.
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.
He is just being male .. his ego causes him to try and control her but he cant hence the frustration and this odd thread.DavenJuan said:some of the stuff i see on this site is absolutely hilariarous..

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.
