"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.

Plating 4 good-looking plain janes will not make it hurt less to lose someone with more personality and skills (+ obviously looks). It will just keep your mind busy.

Besides, when they get hotter + better quality (intelligence, success, saner) the whole game seems to change. There is less flaking, less cancelling dates, less drama, less ghosting, less wait for sex, but there are other disadvantages. For example: see above. So basically, plain jane will not prepare you for the next special one. She will play plain janes' games, but these you already know.

I am not denying the advantages of plate spinning. But I would still be thinking about this.
You are putting the pvssy on a pedestal. There should be no differentiation between what you are calling "plain jane", and "special" ones. They should be equally attractive and intelligent. Otherwise, yes, if you settle for something that is easy to acquire (plain jane), which you are not as attracted to, then obviously you will be thinking about the "special" (more attractive) ones.

In other words, spin 10's (on your scale). If she doesn't have the physical and intellectual attributes that you prefer, then you shouldn't be wasting your time.

"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.

There is no special one, that is your entire problem, thinking that there is.

Of course there are special ones. Just use your fear as a compass. Will guide you right to them

Plane jain can be the more intelligent one who keeps better jobs and is socially responsible ( doesn't flake, etc ). She is plain jain because all her attention isn't on her looks. The girls all into their looks use this as a TRAP to snare thirsty men. To gain access to resources they don't deserve. And for preferential treatment.
 

"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.

You don't fear the women, themselves. You fear the rejection that comes with a "special one". Funny thing is, it's this fear of rejection that is likely leading to the actual rejection. Self fulfilling prophecy.

What are you trying to prove? That response is filled with insecurity.

I don't need to prove anything. OP thinks the fear he feels when talking with woman is the same feeling others have but that is not correct
