"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.

in a spare the moment move, I woke up this morning and basically said **** it, i'm getting out of arkansas. I dont' know what drove me to that decision but I am done here.

I am flying down to Venice, Florida tomorrow to look for a a townhouse/house, and I just might really say **** it and and rent a house/hotel until i get a place to stay...

I will be out within 2 weeks

Any wingmen around that area?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

i THOUGHT about moving out of arkasnas.. came dame close, just couldn't do it at the time.

I need to get away.

That's another thing I like about that area of flordia, horse tracks everywhere. I have to bet online now... I can't imagine what it's like to go to say, Calder on a Tuesday in the middle of november and it's 79 degrees outside.

once it's all said it done, it will be southern florida or southern Cal... the alure of Del Mar, Hollywood Park and Bay Meadows all right next to each other is hard to pass up, and I almost forgot Santa Anita.

I have a possible vested business interest in southern Florida.. I will see how it works out
