"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'm trying to look at this logically but...

... i've gotten no reply.

Went on a date last nite. She said I was good looking, everything she expected, very hot, wanted to meet again, wished she was with me (after I left) and this morning she sent me a text message.

Now I sent her back a message an hour later and have gotten nothing since. Its now 5 hours later. I'm telling myself she might have run out of credit, left her phone somewhere etc etc but another part of me is saying they're just excuses and she isn't interested all of a sudden.

Anybody have any thoughts?
 

"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.

Few questions:
- Did you introduce any sexuality/intimacy last night? (kissing, touch, sexy talk)
- What is the msg she sent you this morning?
- What is the msg you responded with?

You should be dating more than 1 woman and then you won't really care as much about this type of thing. I know that doesn't change your current frame of mind. So my advice for the immediate situation is: sweat it out :)

-Yes I kino'd her a bit and asked her jokingly if she'd like to sit on my lap. She thought I was joking and I winked at her.
-Just about a dream she had.
-Just saying I was after a walk..

Yeah I have a few dates lined up but I like her. I'm spinning a few plates so it won't be as bad as it used to be. So overall I'm not too bothered.

That's why I always call the girl I'm dating, and don't send her text, so that I don't have to sweat about this sort of stuff. The only times I send a txt would be for trivial stuff, like "bring me that DVD tonight" (when we already plan to meet).

Right now you should continue with your day and whatever you do, DON'T text or call her and ask if she's received your previous message. Of course she has, and for some reason, she's sitting on it and giving it some thought. She might even be discussing it with her friends (just like what you're doing now on this forum) and getting advices from them. Call her next time you're free a day or two later and ask her out again. Her response to that would tell you more than what anyone here could guess from such limited information.
 

"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.

Yeah I know what you mean. Texting always leaves people wondering!

You put her in a position of power when you text, used to have it done to me plenty like you described and now i do it to girls, she sends a text, i pretend ive fallen asleep or whatever.

Then she thinks about me loads because i dont respond, i text back the next day saying i fell asleep or whatever, great way to get them alot more intrested.

Haha, this is what I expected. It sounded like this girl was really into you. She would only stop texting you indefinitely if she was a terrible flake. You shouldn't worry after 5 hours, but if she doesn't text back in one week then something's up.

You got your answer, is it clear to you now that your amateur dramatics were over the top?

This is where AFC's start texting girls constantly to "make sure", and become bigger AFC's. Find something else to do, and if she doesn't answer, never ever send a "chase" text.

Dude, don't let a woman get the best of you. The last thing you should worry about is whether a woman has texted you back or not. If you were the prize (or the catch) you would look at the situation totally differently. You'd have so much going for you that you wouldn't let her phase you.

Where is your strength? Are you a man or a wimp. Do you let other people's action control your thoughts and emotions or do you control them? Once you've given her the power that you're actually giving her now, she'll be so over you and swinging to the next branch.

This woman has her own life, and she will get back to you, but until then you can't let her know that is getting to you. In fact, it shouldn't be getting to you. You need to look deep inside yourself and find out why your feeling like this. There is a deeper issue you need to work out with yourself, and she's not to blame.
 

"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.

Stop texting.. my god this is getting ridiculous. I can't say much since I do it too, but I am learning that texting is for p/ssies.

I actually CALLED the girl I wanted to speak to today.. what a concept.

Texting ftl, too unreliable and a bad way of communicating.

This is overthinking/over-stressing things, really, but nice that it worked out.

Since we're talking about texting.. what do you guys think when you CALL a girl, leave a v/m... then 2 hours later she replies with a text message.. something like

"sorry I missed your call.. how are you?"

Well this just happened, and I will ignore it. Ever heard of returning a phone call woman? It would probably take less time then a text..

I guess I should just accept it.. this is the age of texts. But it doesn't mean I have to reply.

Look how crazy dudes on this site are getting over a text not being returned. LOL, so imagine how a female is feeling when we don't return her texts.

See my previous post and answer it buddy
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

When you call a girl and leave a v/m, but instead of returning your call, she sends you a text 2 hours later saying "sorry I missed your call, how are you?"

How do you act in that situation?

I usually don't leave VMs (habit of mine, nothing to do with gaming women) and I'd try again later.

In your case, I'd ring her again instead of responding to that TXT, so she gets the point of calling you, not TXTing. As you said, it's the age of TXT, so they have that bad habit and don't realise it themselves. You gotta show them what you prefer and see if they follow it.

You ignore her. If she doesn't have enough respect to call you back, she's not worth the trouble. She's only trying to find out how much of a douche you are. If you leave the ball in her court to actually prove herself, then you'll have the upper hand. If she doesn't make another move, she's doing you a favor by cutting you lose, and you can just assume that she has bad taste.

I agree with ignoring her, it will drive her nuts.

After all, I'm supposed to be out with another woman right now, because when this one didn't answer my call, I called up my other plate, and we are out having fun right now.

I know this isn't reality, but it should be. You know what I mean?
 

“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.
