"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 girlfriend is giving me the cold shoulder and won't talk to me at all

We've been together for just under a year. Everything is great. She even moved in with me a while ago and still no problems.

This Sunday, we went to visit her family. I was in the living room watching some TV. A few minutes later, she joined me and sat next to me. Her aunt came in, saw us and started teasing us about looking like a married couple. Then she asked me "So when are you popping the big question?". I was a little taken aback so I smiled and said "When I feel like it". Her aunt kept teasing me about not letting a good one run away and then left.

On the drive home, my girlfriend was a little more quiet than usual. When we got home, she went into the second bedroom. Around 11pm, I asked her when she was coming to our own bedroom. She said "When I feel like it" and slammed her door. Then everything clicked for me.

She's barely spoken to me the past few days and hasn't slept in our bedroom the past three days now. I'm really confused as to why my statement was offensive. I was really taken by surprise with her aunt's question and didn't know what else to say. That and marriage with her has never even crossed my mind. I really dislike having this kind of atmosphere in the house because it feels like emotional torture.
 

"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.

BURRRRNNNNNN!!!!!

Just kidding. Ignore it. Don't respond. She needs your attention more than you need hers (obviously, hence the tantrum). It'll be back to normal soon enough.

Pick a better choice of words next time in front of family. Maybe 'when the time is right'.

Other than that, ignore the temper tantrum. Things will be back to normal soon.

What does this have to do with attention? Op embarrassed his gf infront of her famaily by derping. Theres probably more derpage that we don't know about.
 

"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.
