"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.

Keeping girls on the "backburner" when having a girlfriend

Hey everyone--
I've been in a "commited relationship" with a girl for over a week now and have been dating this same girl for over three months. She is cool, I like her a lot, and she seems to really like me.
HOWEVER, I'm still not sure how much I can trust this girl. (She has a lot of guy friends, etc. but I'll save that stuff for another post).
Right now, I have two other girls I'm interested in. I would NEVER cheat on my girlfriend, but since I'm still not completely sure if I can trust my girlfriend, I would like to keep these other girls around just in case my current relationship doesn't work out. Is this possible to do? I have not told either of the other two girls I like about my recent "relationship" status with my girlfriend. How can I most productively and positively work this situation so I can keep these other girls around? Is this possible? Thanks.
 

"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.

Trust issues. If you don't trust her, call it off now. Why second guess everything she does or says when she's not near you?

Also worth looking into: Why don't you trust her? Just because she has guy friends? The reason why girls have guy friends is because she's too lazy/smart to put up with all the crap the afc's will put up with. A guy girl friendship, when neither wants to have sex with the other is a much easier relationship than two girls. They tend to be competitive, catty and some are downright spiteful. A girl with a lot of guy friends usually means that she doesn't like drama in her life, so that's a plus.

LOL. A week? And you didn't send out the official notices yet?

Get the girl you are atracted to or like the most and keep the other two on the back-burner. Trust is an issue that is necessary for a ltr or wifey material - if she is neither and just a play thing then why care about trust. Remember wh@res are loyal to no one - you are just the next guy in line. So don't be surprised if your suspicions come to fruition!

Always keep at the least two on call...... anymore and well, things can get a little complicated.... I'm sure it can be done, but I'm unorganized, and can be a little lazy at times. :)

..or as David Lee Roth once said, 'I always keep two around, that way, if there's a conversation, I don't have to be involved.' :)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
