"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.

Firstly, I am thankful for the advice. I did not expect anything serious from this girl. i.e her potentially willing to cheat/go against his husband, and her being with a child. Not that I would have said no had she clearly expressed her wishes. And even then it would probably have been a one time affair. Anyway...

The thing is that my trip had already been confirmed when I posted this topic. What I asked was whether or not I should pursue this or not. All of you clearly said that I should not. So I did not. She tried to draw me in in the beginning, but I showed her I was not interested. I had other things to do on the ship and I did not let her distract me.

I am still friends with her
- not simply an aquainaintance or somebody whom I know. We seldom communicate, but she trusts me whenever we do. And no, I am not helping to solve her emotional drama. I still fail to see how considering her a friend could hurt me. I am not doing anything from my part to get together with her. Is it somehow frowned upon as a Don Juan, or an Don Juan apprentice to have female friends? I mean friends of my choosing. i.e excluding being friendzoned.

Now I do not know who the Jack is that I am referred to, but I do not like being insulted for no obvious reason (not obvious to me, at least). I do not like being insulted at all for that matter. Critique is always welcome. This however is not it.

I hope that makes things a little bit more obvious that you are SO STUPID. (That's from my wife and I) But you are very entertaining, Jerry Jerry Jerry!!!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Thank you for clarifying that. Not everyone is as smart as one would expect.
