"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.

this kind of embressing to ask for help on this subject but it's hard she wants meaning behind and i have writers block you could sort of say.
 

"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.

Think of an inside joke between the two of you or something.

Example: This chick I've been seeing and I were out playing around on a playground (actually very fun, try it sometime). Well, we end up curled up in the slide, which was a full tube, making out. I was laying down in it and she was all contorted. Anyway, during the making out I licked her on the side of the face and she tasted salty (we'd been sweating from running around). So naturally I say, "You taste kinda salty.... I'm calling you Pretzel from now on" because she was twisted up in the slide and she tasted salty. Naturally she loved it, and now it's our little "inside thing".

Try to think back to something like that. If you've got nothing, make one happen

hehe, no need to be embaressed or anything mate...

there's the generic pet names as well, sweetie, babe, sexy etc.

Bit of info about her etc?
 

"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.

You should have called her Helen of Troy.
 

"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.

Metal fan, I think some names are hard to come up with nicknames for . I mean what would you call a girl named Helen? Hel? or a girl called Darlene... darling? Find something about her and give her a nickname. Like my last gf I called her Friz because she had curly frizzy hair. I also called her a Lone Knight rider cos she rode me far into the night, lol.

Best advice posted. Think of an inside joke between the two of you, and go from there. Does she look/remind you of anything?

In the past, I gave the nickname "schmoopie" to a girl. Somehow the discussion of boogers came up (dont ask) and when she was little, she called them schmoopies.. ever since than, that was her nickname.

Avoid nicknames such as: Princess, baby, beautiful. Completely wh*red up. Think of something original, not to sweet.
In high school, avoid the nicknames b*tch, c*ntface, etc because girls in HS tend to be insecure. The last thing you want is to spark up a fight on such a small, avoidable thing. Notice how the nickname I gave was not too sweet, yet it wasn't as offensive as the other ones posted in this thread? That's the kind of nickname you should be looking for.

Hope I helped,
Axcell.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
