"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.

...try to bait you into asking questions so they can rant/rave about something?

Ex:

me - "what did you do tonight?"
her - "oh I just stayed at home mad"

her - "what you doin up?"
me - "blah blah blah...u?"
her - "oooo I'm just sitting here being irritated."

It's almost like she's waiting for me to ask "how come?" or "why?" so then she can ramble on about her problems. Fortunately, I didn't give in and I just carried on the conversation as if she didn't try this little ploy. Why do I waste time with girls like this...

Yep, it's called Implied Questioning. You know about Conversation Control. Yeah. She WANTS to talk about her problem.

Is it because you're just a friend? Most likely not. Everyone has their bad days.

We're casual friends I guess, but I suspect I'm in the friendzone. This girl has a BF too. I think she wants to hang out again but she seems very into herself and I don't think it's worth my time.

Just give her the "why" that she so desires along with asking her to do something for you. The idea is to make her work. Sitting on her a** will only make her fatter. Get her up off of her feet and make that b**** work.

What I really hate is when people fish for compliments. I very rarely give in then; I like to just let them insult themselves and say nothing in response.

yeah, the implied questioning thing is annoying, but I'm a little more tolerant of it
 

"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.

Not to be a control freak but...

...as a man you always got to lead. So I always feel it's my job to set the vibe each time I have a conversation. Most chicks start conversations like that, then you go down the trap have taking about you're day and sh!t, she gets bored and leaves.

In the two scenarios I'd tend to either tell a story or just say something random...

me - "what did you do tonight?" (I would never really ask this but for situation purposes)
her - "oh I just stayed at home mad"

1. Me: Really, I'm sorry I fuked you so hard you couldn't come out the house...I didn't know you couldn't handle it (I love sexual inneundo)
2. Me: Yea I'm mad too!...I had to spend my whole day beating off because my 3 stripper gfs never came over
3. Me: OMG he left you!? It's ok he wasn't right for you anyway...I have someone perfect for you...He's never left his house in 5 year, all he does is play games. WAIT until you see his thumbs, you'll love him.

her - "what you doin up?"

1. Me: Beating off to the lastest porn flick
2. Me: Trying to call up all my ladies to start up a game of TWISTER...Naked
3. Me: I can't sleep...Blue balls

Note - I see this completly randomly and then go into a normal conversation. This tends to always catch women off guard because most guys would NEVER say such things, usually it's boring sh!t like "I'm watching Titantic"

yeah, I think it's little silly if you seriously have to entertain all the girls in your life constantly like that, but i get what you're saying
