"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.

My girl asked me today..

how come you never ask me questions likes
"Baby do you love me?"
"can i really trust you?"
or"will you ever hurt me?"

she says her friends boyfriends all ask them these type of questions.
but i dont.
and her friends think.
1. i like her SO much that i already believe these things are true so dont ask,
2. im playing her and so i dont care as long as i get the A55
3. im too scared to ask, so i dont trust her

i think she personally things it 2.

ive dodged the question earlier today with the
"im at work sweetheart i cant talk about this now, lets talk about this later tonight k.."
she said she'll bring it up tonight, so i know she will.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Whatever you do, DON'T ask those questions. They're probably the neediest, most AFC things I've ever heard.

she's wondering why you're not a needy AFC, and she doesn't want you to be that (whether she admits it or not), so just make a joke out of it (C+F) and keep her guessing.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Keep in mind that she may be feeling insesure that your so confident about the relationship. Its possible to overdue the macho-man "I dont need you attitude."

what may be going through her head is:
"he never asks me those questions, does he even care about me?"
hense she feels insecure.

Make sure you show her that you care.

I think you're getting too serious with that response. You just need to come up with witty remark and just sidestep it.

Lets think of some better responses.

Her: Why don't you ask me all these afc questions like my friends boyfriends??

You: Honey if you need someone to ask those questions maybe you should hang with your girls boyfriends.

You: Do you want me to do everything you're friends boyfriends do?

You: Lets go get some food i'm starving!

You: You're such a cutie ;-) *hug*


You don't need to answer this question and I think if you do it will just cause problems. If you give her a serious response, no matter what it is, she's just gonna start asking follow-up questions.

I personally sidestep any relationship type question girls ask me. I guess I sidestep most questions girls ask me.
 

"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.

I agree that it's too serious but why sidestep it? Wouldn't the guys she's use to do something like that? I'd just say "Why would I need to worry about such things?" It's confident and straight forward.

Tell her that your happyness dont depend on the answer of those questions.
It sucks when girls compare us to some AFCs and think we should behave like an AFC sometimes... can anybody explain why they do that?
Is this a test or something?
