"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.

Broke up with my girlfriend in September. She was cool but it then she kept talking about how she wanted to get pregnant and I told her to get out. Go out once a week at least and I workout all the time and I'm not depressed. I can't find any cool girls though. I hooked up with a chick on halloween and got her number, but there was just nothing there to follow up on (she was an idiot). Now I have no girls on the horizon and my ex wants to get back together but I don't really trust her. What to do?
 

"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.

Plain and simply, there's no reason to be with a woman if you don't trust her. Moreover, there's no reason to be with a woman unless she is enhancing your life.

She wants to get pregnant? And you're not even engaged? I would stay far away and make sure if you do have sex with this girl, wrap it up-- better yet, wrap it up and make sure you flush the condom down the toilet immediately after.

Don't be so impatient when it comes to finding someone new. You'll find that a lot of women in your life come along when you're least expecting it. It's rare that you're looking hard to find a woman and you find it right away.

Have fun for the time being and forget this girl, who you obviously don't like enough in the first place. Don't be a sucker just because you feel bad for her.

I don't feel bad for her really. I just want to nail something. She'd be the easiest to get as I can't seem to pick girls up at the bars for reasons not known to me.

I think I'm just going to do her once and get it out of my system, ya'know? Sex once every few months is good for me. I'll just use protection as always.
