"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.

Hey to all that read the "i sent a drunk "i love you" email"

just an update,it has taken me ages but i finally got her out of my life,after several arguments after she hated me for sending her that email,she provoked me into a fight on msn for no reason,and i retaliated and said "how about you **** off,before i lose any more respect for you?" and she said "fine *with one of those disappointed faces*..

and she never wrote again,im guessing trying to play on my afc-ness and get me to say sorry..

then tonight on msn,i asked her "are we are still friends?"

her-not at this moment,maybe laaater
me-so i try to be reasonable and this is what i get for my efforts?

she blocked me then

so i sent her an email saying "blocked me? ok then deal,friendships over....merry Christmas"

lol,and deleted her straight off of my myspace,dont feel any care about it whatsoever anymore, thank you s.s
 

"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.

you shouldn't have asked if you were still friends or sent an email saying blocked me? it showed your one-itis and gave her the upper hand.

Ye Yeah, you're still coming across AFC. You come across as bitter and rather desperate. The way to conquer oneitis isn't to keep arguing with the girl and trying to get the upper hand. You need to stop talking about her and stop thinking about her. The only way to do this is to NEXT her and start seeing other girls.

At the moment, it seems to me that if she e-mailed you saying, "Hi, I over-reacted to your e-mail and I'm sorry. I value you as a friend and don't want to lose you," then you would be sucked right back in.
