"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.

I'm going to make a long story short. Basically I was driving got to a stop sign over by a supermarket. Who do I see? you guessed it walking with who I think was her ex boyfriend. She looks me dead in the eyes, like oh shyt turns around and grabs his hand. Keep in mind I'm in my car and this is literally 2ft away lol. This is after weeks of dangling me around. Talk about a stab to the heart . Live and learn i guess. Guys stay emotionally detached at all times!!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'll share my philosophy.

Don't love A woman. LOVE ALL women. Hate individual women. If A woman doesn't appreciate your warmth give it freely to someone else.

I have to be very careful about certain types of women so that I don't fall for them. I might have a crush right now but it is having no effect on me at all because I have not forgotten to love all women and hate individual ones.

The thing about love or the feeling of attraction isn't much of a choice. The moment you feel attraction to a girl that is trouble you have to avoid her at all cost or else it might grow into oneitis.

If you are talking about the girl I might have a crush on I agree. That has been my strategy for a long time now. I have very little contact with her despite our proximity. Im telling you, there is fireworks and lightning when we look at eachother and its seems pretty mutual. So I totally avoid her but that doesnt mean I can't take her when she comes my way.

I can totally kill her power by fvcking her. The thing is I think she has liked me for a while. She gets nervous, flushy, flustered smiling like she is thrilled around me, and jealous of other girls. But I avoid her and don't look at her unless it would be rude not to.

I have actually taken steps to back her off also even though I think she is genuine. I don't need her. She is probably mine for the taking but I have to play by my rules.

I have a lot of game right now. No need to endanger that with a foolish oneitis.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

After getting hurt in the past (once is enough) I say NO to any emotional attachment to girls I barely know (less than 6 months).
