"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.

just cut the cord with a crazy FB, and I like this freedom.

I've had some decent dates lately, and a fair amount of success this year...but I feel like sharpening the saw for a couple of months, recharging, and retreating into my own hobbies and workouts before I start dating again.

Is that ever OK? I don't want to "lose my touch", but the idea of not having girls define me for 2-3 months appeals to me.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's fine, even beneficial.

As Paradox and a few others have noted, "plates" don't have to be women. Hobbies, career, fitness, etc. can be plates you spin.

I don't think any guy should chase puss constantly unless you are some "professional pickup artist."

I think it's a welcomed change. You don't need to constantly be skirt chasing to be happy.

this is an odd reason why. I'm not going all ElStud and saying "I'm done with girls", I'm just looking to take a time out for a while.

(I say 2-3 months, but it'll probably end up being a month...haha...it's getting warmer out.)

Yup, I'm at my best (pickup-wise) when I'm horniest, and I just haven't been that turned on lately. Goes in cycles. I hooked up with several chicks in 2 weeks back in January and then nothing since. Just haven't been interested enough to try.

It comes and it goes. It used to bother me when I went a couple of months without a new girl, but now I know it'll come back so I enjoy my downtime.
 

"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.

I've experienced it; taking time off is just a buffer for Frustration. At one point I had a 5 flake streak. Embrace the highs and endure the lows. You will bounce back, but you won't do it by backing out of the Game.

why wouldn't it be ok? in fact you should do it!! you should be living your life for yourself....not women...you don't lose your touch if you know what you're doing.

there's always more to life than just women!!

you always need a break from everything in life!! take this time to have fun and better yourself!!

you will feel like a new man....already to go!!

good luck!
