"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.

A few weeks back, me and my gf went toy shopping. No, not THAT kind of toy shopping!!! :nono:

She wanted to browse the Barbie section for the hell of it, so I said sure. We were both blown away at the line of Ken dolls. Are these supposed to be a reflection of society, or are they supposed to be what women consider the 'ideal man'? Take a look for yourself:

They all look gay. Why isn't Ken masculine?
 

"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.

you have to take in to account the target audience, little girls.

They would probably be drawn more towards the cute, little boyish bieber look than the vin diesel, i'll crack you in the jaw look.

fashion and design is heavily dominated by gay men..it is no surprise that their influence can be clearly seen

"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.

When my now ex-wife would go clothes shopping for me, I'd respond by calling myself "Ken."
