"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.

As a girl I can say a bit about this---
High quality women with a lot going for them (breeding, beauty, brains, cash, or ability to make cash) will almost always seek out their equal or better. As a woman, I can say that it is terribly frustrating to see how men want physical perfection but do not issue upon themselves the same demands-----being out of shape, not properly grooming themselves, etc....and yet, they insist that a woman be perfect. Please. Let me up. I work hard to stay in shape and have much to offer a man in my life---so why would I settle for a TrainWreck, physically, emotionally, intellectually---even at my age of 38? The physical draws you in, Chemistry has to be there....not something you can fake. Intellect and quick wit keeps their interest after the second drink---otherwise we are looking over your shoulders for the next prospect....Quick suggestions----Have a fabulous and confident smile. Nothing is more repellant than a guy with horrible teeth....I mean, total deal-killer. Great smile, true confidence, and the smart girls can see thru the bullsh*t puffed up attempt at confidence....Have a array of subjects you can talk about---be brilliant, fun, energetic, engaging....Again, if you want to take home the Blue Ribbon, you better be able to qualify.....Improve the inside and out....it's a lifelong process....
 

"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.

Hey DJohnson, Serious question---Is it always a lame manipulative game when guys send flowers?
Buy little thoughtful gifts? I for one cannot even fathom wasting any time or money on any guy....but my intent could be different....Truly though, if a guy REALLY digs a girl, he WILL do those things....I have had both serious and not-so-seriously involved men do all of those things...
I for one think it is a GREAT way to tell a girl you really are thinking of her....but again----depends on your motivation with the girl. Set me straight here, guys!!

Hi champagne,

Sadly, MOST of the time a guy in a new relationship gives gifts either because:

1) He thinks he is supposed to.

2) He thinks it will score him points.

There are many guys, myself included, who give gifts to people all the time, male female, old, young, because I like to make people happy, and I was raised in a family where sharing and giving were common place.

But most people simply aren't that giving. That is just the fact of the matter. They are doing it because they think they have to or they will score points usually.

So to summarize, giving gifts isn't bad, if the motivation is right. In fact there are few conrete rules if the motivation and inner game is right.
