"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.

Knowing what you know now do you still want to get married

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I won't say id never marry again. But in order to do so there would need to be a minimum 10 year relationship with near perfect conditions that i dont think are possible with any American woman anymore. Be more likely to happen if i moved to a foreign country, met her there, and kept her there. Once a foreign woman hits American soil her marriage value starts ticking down, like the dollar value of a car when you drive it off the lot.

No way in hell I'm ever getting married. I can't stand the thought of being tied down and I prefer living alone. Marriage is too financially dangerous for men now. General rule, if you put your signature on a mortgage while single DON'T GET MARRIED. You don't want to lose your home or pay child support/alimony to some b1tch who one day decides to up and leave.

I would probably still get married with a prenup but I'm not sure. What I doubt is meeting someone worthy of such an imbalanced situation especially once you have kids regardless of the prenup. I really can't trust my own judgment anymore because if you guys knew some of the women I had considered marrying you would flip your ****.
We can't marry or LTR based on the very STRONGEST ATTRACTION. There should be attraction, but that person has to prove to be loyal, supportive and have an ability to put your needs first and that of the relationship. You want someone who will take care of you if you couldn't work. And there is plenty of red flags that indicate selfishness or out for self that would let you know.
