"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.

A friend of mine was on his third date with a 43 year old mom of two kids, 6 and 9. She had him meet the kids today. What's the reason behind this behavior (which I think is nothing but trouble)?
 

"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.

Nope. Not even once.

Been down that road. I nip it in the bud. If they tell me they have kids, I tell a story about a woman who tried to push her kids on me too soon and how I have no respect for women who introduce and bring their kids around strange men that they aren't ready to commit to. It usually weeds out the ones who want to quickly playhouse and it makes those who are smart but haven't really thought about it take a moment and think.

Third date? Fvck off. I suppose she thinks she landed a winner/sucker, has mental issues or is just stupid.

Very solid.

And my poor friend, who took the advice with the reply of "good stuff" will probably be buying the kids gifts in a few weeks, because all he craves is a woman's approval.
