"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.

Hi DJs,

Recently, a female friend of mine (long time~6 yrs) has began flirting with me. For example, if I say something like "hey why'd you just touch my ass?" she'd say something like "my hand has the hots for you!" or some crap like that

Anyways, she's not SUPER attractive, but not bad either. I'd say HB6-7 (7 being generous). I at first I wasn't sure how to respond to this flirting, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to practice my skills and I flirted back anyways. My question is, how do I let her down easy if she decides to pursue this further?

I have a few lines in mind:

1. You're like a sister to me.
2. Lets just be friends.
3. It's not you....it's me.

Any other tips??? Anyone else been in this situation before? Gimme a shout! thanks : :) :) :) :up:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Maybe she's just real comfortable with you and will joke with you like that...

I have a couple of real good female friends around the 26 yr old mark... easily HB8s, but she's like one of the guys, or a sister, and we joke about this kind of sh!t all the time...

What do you do? Just keep yourself busy don't recite the chick lines that you posted above... if you're fvckin other girls then there really is no issue... if she knows you, then she knows what the deal is... your situation should speak for itself

alright good advice guys. If she progresses with it, I'll make sure she's joking. If she's not joking I'll let her down ASAP straightforward.

then I will go talk to girls i am intersted in sexually and flirt with them.
 

"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.

If you don't want her then stop it. Go practice on girls you don't feel comfortable with and actually want them and that is how you are going to learn.
Totally agree DJDamage. "Practicing" on a girl who is already fully flirting with you and obviously interested is like "practicing" hunting a dead animal. Totally useless.

No need to get rude and sarcastic. I was not personally attacking you, I was attacking the idea you brought up. Grow up.
