"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.

.... that I just screwed myself over by acting like a stereotypical AFC. I met this girl (HB 7) who was showing me high IL. At first I wasn't sure if she was really into me because she seemed to flirt with a lot of guys but I could tell she was directing most of her attention towards me. So yesterday I invited her to go for a hike with a couple other people I was going with. We had fun and she was holding my hand most of the time we were there. Later
she and some of her friends came to my place (a suite, I'm in college) and there was lot of kino going on between us, but we didnt really have any time alone till everyone left and by then we were tired and I came down with a major case of the wussiness.
Today she came over to my room and we watched a movie, there was a lotta kino going on, and we were lying next to each other on my bed. (Yes I know, obvious fvcking signals, I am such a retard). Yet something inside me froze every time I started to move in for a kiss. No matter what I told myself, I couldnt man up and just do it.
Finally as she was about to leave something in me just snapped and said fvck it all and I stopped her and gave her a kiss on the lips. It was pretty quick, (no tongue) and she left after it. (So basically I fvcked up the kiss). The only good thing that I can take from this experience is that I actually went for the kiss.
Its funny how when you read posts you can always tell when someone lost his chance with a girl, but when it actually happens to you, you still think you have a chance. So I guess what Im looking for is a smack to wake me up from this oneitis I developed or if anyone thinks I still have a chance, some suggestions on what to do.

Btw, This is my first time posting but I've been reading the forums for a while now. As bad as my state of affairs is now, it would be even worse if it hadnt been for sosuave and for all those dj's who took the time to help us dumbass AFC's. Thanks guys.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Sure you got the kiss close, but none of that matters if you didn't create mutual interest using verbals. It's important to not just flirt, but to get her to talk about herself to give the semblance that she is "attracting you back". See if she will follow-up. If not, distance yourself immediately because she will be a typical AW and will only end up psychologically handicapping you. If she follows through, which I doubt she will, make sure to use verbals and get to know each other while creating attraction.
