"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.

my ex g/f of 3 years ago and i have been talking on facebook recently. she's not on my friends list, but her mom added me awhile back and we've kept in touch some. back when her and i were dating neither of us were on facebook, so there was no deleting her or anything like that after we broke up. i did send my ex a friend request but she has yet to accept it.lol we've been emailing each other a couple of times lately, but nothing too deep, mostly small talk. i did ask her about hanging out sometime but she replied with "I'm just not sure I can take you serious". she's said this same line in the past two emails. in fact here's the last email she sent me that i haven't replied to(not sure what to say or even if i should reply back that's why i'm asking you guys for advice on what to do):

I wish I could take you seriously. I just have so much going on right now that I can't risk having potential drama in my life, I know that's selfish but where I'm at.

I know that sounds like she's not interested at all, but the whole "i can't take you seriously" makes me think there's a small part of her that does want to see me, she just isn't sure. it's like she doesn't think i'm really serious about wanting to see her. maybe i'm interpriting it how i want it to sound, i don't know. i need some unbiased interpretation.

we dated for a year and i won't lie when i say if there's any girl i've ever dated that i could see myself marrying oneday, it would be her. we had our share of fights about stupid sh!t and she was pretty insecure at the time, but i wasn't exactly perfect either. we brokeup because i was in college and i just couldn't fully put 100% of myself into the relationship, we started arguing over dumb stuff alot, and i made a stupid decision and brokeup with her. i've regretted that decision everyday for the past 3 years. she's always been in the back of my mind since then and i never really moved on from her, i'll admit that. her mom did tell me randomly recently that she had matured alot and was a different person. this is coming from her mom, i'm not saying this about her.

i want to go against every rule on here about getting back with an ex because my feelings are still strong for her and i didn't realize just how strong until we recently got in touch again. in the 3 years since we've broken up i haven't met a single girl that i would choose over her if i had the choice. there just isn't sh!t out there, and i've looked for 3 years, not 3 days, not 3 months.....3 years. i don't know if it's a comfort thing i have with my ex and that's the driving force with me wanting to see her again or what it is. all i know is the few girls i was sort of seeing, i would ditch them yesterday if my ex would agree to see me and i could really tell her how i feel. i just need some advice on how to convince her that she should take a chance on seeing me again and that i want to be with her. i don't want to keep dating around with loser women and all there b.s. excuses, problems, games, etc. i did that the past 3 years and haven't been happy at all like i was when i was dating my ex. yeah we fought but so what, who doesn't, maybe her mom is right and she has come a long way, i know i've done alot of changing since then and hopefully for the better. can you guys help me out at all? here's a pic of me and her back when we were dating. i haven't dated anyone CLOSE to being as hot as her since, and i haven't clicked with any chick like i did with her when we first met.

 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

ok she saw your friend request and avoid befriending you because once she does you will see her pictures with her current boyfriend. SO SHE TAKES THE EASY WAY AND JUST EXCHANGE EMAILS WITH YOU .this way you are oblivious to what she is up to.

the following
"I wish I could take you seriously. I just have so much going on right now that I can't risk having potential drama in my life, I know that's selfish but where I'm at. "

this means im looking to branch swing but you are unreliable. i rather keep my current boyfriend(which im bored with btw) until someone better than you come along. but i surely love the ego boost you give me daily.


DELETE THAT PENDING FRIEND REQUEST

DELETE HER MOM FROM YOUR PROFILE


get rid of that POINDEXTER LOOK

Come on dude, its been 3 years since you split. What are you doing, whigning malcontent. Even she can't take you serious, let alone guys on a forum. Suck it up, your making the board look bad. YOU AREN'T GETTING BACK TOGETHER. Move the f*ck on. She has the ball in her court. You haven't dated anyone hotter or near enough as hot, because you haven't tried. You have a "5" mindset in your head, whilst making her a "7" or "8", where she was out of your league. Go against every rule in the book.

Infact I'm going to embrace you to CONTACT her consistantly throughout the week, keep asking for "Hang-outs". Ditch all of the plates you had or never had, and start hitting on your old Oneitis. Tell her what you said to us here,
all i know is the few girls i was sort of seeing, i would ditch them yesterday if my ex would agree to see me and i could really tell her how i feel. i just need some advice on how to convince her that she should take a chance on seeing me again and that i want to be with her. i don't want to keep dating around with loser women and all there b.s. excuses, problems, games, etc. i did that the past 3 years and haven't been happy at all like i was when i was dating my ex. yeah we fought but so what, who doesn't, maybe her mom is right
She will acknowledge it and think twice about not hanging out with you and believe you've evolved. Make her think you're not having the time of your life, miserable and frusutrated from dating the same old women and that nobody can EVER replace her "ONEITIS" because you haven't tried and have been wallowing away for 3 years still, whilst her mom tells you she's grown up now. Maybe new guys here, can learn from your idiotic mistake your about to make, whilst we can kick back and watch.

i know i'm possibly making a bad deal here, i'm not saying that. i'm just wanting to makeup for a big mistake i made 3 years ago i think. she contacted me first on facebook, i guess she saw me on her moms friend list or something. i just want to hangout with her once to see if it's like old times or not, to see if we still have as much fun together as we used to. i guess it's curriosity more then anything. if i screw up i screw up, but i think i'd regret it more if i didn't at least give it one shot to hangout with her.
