"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.

This is an extension of a thread I started and I thought I would make the title clearer to make it easy for people to find advice on what to do in this type of situation.


Assume you've asked a girl out to a specific date (not necessarily on the phone) and she says, enthusiastically, "give me your number, I'll call you and let you know".

What does this say about her?

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"I'll call you and let you know" is a bad sign. Not to mention that she wanted your number rather than you having hers.

What's good is that you have nothing left to do here, but don't expect much to come out of it. Just pursue other things as normal.

You need to realize that it's a girls way of politely saying no, that's all there is to it, I mean there is a very slight chance that she'll actually call you but it's extremely slim.

The more you start going out, the more you'll start seeing patterns amongst your interactions, when a girl:

1. has a boyfriend
2. has to go to the bathroom
3. has to go find her friends
4. will take your number and call you

it's her way of just politely saying no, don't take it personally, she just doesn't want to come across as rude, consider it a favor, I mean, she could just be a ***** and tell you to piss off.

Remember, rejection is part of the game.

dont read to mch into that sh!t...think about it...what girl calls a guy back to let him know when they can go out..smh...doesnt happe,, if she was really interested she would have said "im free blah blah.." then boom...mission complete.
 

"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.

Women never ever say no. They just give excuses or throw you a curve ball.

Really depends. A lot of people say you should ask for the number, but i'm lazy as, and personally would rather give the girl my number and let her do the chasing. If she doesn't call, meh.

haha.

That's the NICE way to say "No thanks"

believe me.

The best way to tackle this is to tell her

"Now, I know that means you don't want to give me your number. It's okay.
I'll tell you what, give me your e-mail and you won't be dissapointed".

How immature of her! I mean for God's sake, she's a grown woman, she has a brain and can communicate. The inability to simply say "I really appreciate it, but honestly, I'm not looking for a date right now" shows a lack of integrity.
On to the next!

Women never 'mature' in that sense. They think they are doing us a favour by not 'hurting' our feelings by not being direct. It's either that or they really get a kick out of stringing guys along. I like to be optimistic on that one, hehe. Either way, you know what it means - move on.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I don't understand what you are talking about. What does it say about her? It says she does want to have sex with you right then and there and will call you and let you know.

decentguy: Would you like to go out for coffee sometime?
girl: give me your number, I'll call you and let you know
decentguy: No, no you give me your number. Don't play games with me. If you don't like me and won't date me or sleep with me, you better tell me straight up like is, I don't have time to play these mind games.

decentguy: Would you like to go out for coffee tomorrow night? I know this great place around the corner.
girl: tomorrow night is no good for me, but give me your number, I'll call you and let you know what works.
decentguy: splendid, here is my number. look forward to hear from you soon.



It all depends how smart you are in handling it.

"I'll call you and let you know..."

That I'm not interested in you.

Women don't finish their sentences. These days it's the guys who go after girls as opposed to the other way around.

Back to the field for you! You should also use DonJuan11's advice.

I gotta add this sh*t to the w0manese list!

Yeah,like everyone has already said,this is pretty much a rejection. One thing I have to give women credit for:They come up with the most slick and cunning ways to reject a guy. They're so good at rejecting men,that unless you have some experience with women,they can reject you and you not even know it.

This way they can turn you down without hurting your feelings and making themselves look/feel bad in the process.

decentguy said:

Doesn't say anything really,just that she wasn't interested. However,if she gave you this line,that means that more than likely,everything you did and said leading up to that point DID NOT generate any attraction in her.

I'd stop worrying about what she said,and focus more on WHY she said it in the first place.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

personally I would rather them be more upfront, who cares if they hurt your feelings, if they do it'll be easier to move on, plus none of this bull**** head games and curve balls

wow. This has become very complicated-- women want you to take their hints about them saying "NO" and don't want to feel guilty without them ever having to say it. They don't care about you at all, they just don't want to have the thought of them being mean to a guy on their conscience. That is why they respond cryptically. If you ask for her number and she says anything other than "ok" or "give me your phone", you just got rejected.

There is no point in trapping her and making her say "no" out loud-- you have already been stomped on. Do you want her to continue to stomp on you more? Of course not-- the best thing to say is "cool, whatever--see you later" and then leave with your dignity in tact.

If you just leave, you demonstrate that she didn't really matter anyways to you. This is a much more powerful and positive message than trying to make a girl justify why she doesn't like you.

Damn right, but that would mean their sense of logic > their emotions.

The only time that applies is when their anti-slut defense is up!

Ah women, logical when you don't want them to be, and illogical the rest of the time.

I'd call her and ask her what she means.


Cheers!
 

"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.
