"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.

Is 12 miles too far to date?

Been thinking about dating this cool girl, she lives 12 miles away from my house, google maps says it's 28 min away. Is that too far?
Date or next?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

seriously? 12 miles and you have to ask? Anything within an hr I say is doable. 45 minutes and under is much more preferred.

Ive dated women 40 miles away...trust me 12 miles is just peachy.
 

"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.

Im guessing you are young. When I was younger (under 20) that was the only time I had a girl I was dating live so close. Its good and bad. Good because early on you get to see them a lot and hook up a lot, and get to know her well. Soon though youre not giving one another enough space, and you dont feel like you have an area to call your own.

Any distance within an hour should be fine. If you can easily see a girl once a week, its no problem. Have fun!

If I wasn't willing to go 12 miles from where i live I'd be stuck fvcking cows as in cow cows not fat human female cows. 12 miles is nothing. If it worries you tell her its kinda far but you will be in the area already anyway for reason XYZ.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I once drove 60 miles to bang a HB8. Then never saw her again. Perfect.

This is a perfect distance. 30 min requires both of you to put in a minimal effort but effort none the less. Should help govern the speed of the dating and relationship. My FB lives 40 min away. Other girl I was seeing, 1hr. I like it a little far. They wont so easily pass by and interupt or gather intel.

Depends on where you live. Here in L.A., 12 miles could easily be an hour in traffic during most of the day. We always joke here that if someone lives near the airport and another person lives in Hollywood - about 12 miles away - that they'd never date because it would be "too far." But overall, it shouldn't make a difference - I've had girls who would happily make an hour and a half long trek to see me. It just makes it harder to want to stay faithful to them - the closer they are, the easier it is to see them.
