"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.

Need advice with my ex

So, I met up with my ex a few days ago. We've been broken up since the 1st of this month.

We had a long talk, and I gave her what she needed. She basically needed reassurance, because I never gave it to her. She felt me drifting away, and it was because of comments, she said, that I took really serious. So, she understands that I was scared, and was pulling back emotionally.

Well, we've started talking again, and it seems very loose. She's been hanging out with this other guy, and not sure to what extent, how close they are. I know she's giving him a lot of her time, and attention. I'm just NOT quite sure what's up with them though. As far as I know, they're just friends? I know he's more of a priority in her life though. I'm guessing he's giving her the "attention" that I lacked giving her.

Anyhow. On our last talk, we talked and covered almost everything. I straight up asked her, "look me in the eyes, and tell me you don't want this to work." She started tearing up, and telling me that she couldn't give me an answer. So, that's better then a no, right?

She has stated that she's scared of making me unhappy, and that she feels like she's not "good enough" for me. I am giving her lots of reassurance, that this is not the case. I explained, that I did all that, because of her previous comments, and me pulling back subconsciously. She's just scared, that anything she does, will tick me off, and make me angry. We've known each other for quite some years, even before dating, and she knows that I'm not like that. I told her that I only became this was recently, because of her statements, which led me to be scared, and pull back.

Should I even react to the other guy, or question her about it? Also, what to do, and what NOT to do about her? Give her space? Slowly creep back into her reality? We text VERY seldom, and I have little to no contact with her, but when we chat, usually via AIM, it's very uplifting talks.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

She's been hanging out with this other guy,

but I bet you don't have another girl, right? She is one ahead of you already.


and not sure to what extent, how close they are.

Oh come on, man, what do you think? Obviously, they are fvcking. He's probably going to be pulling her hair and calling her a wh0re tonight. All those things she told you she didn't do, she's doing them with him right now.

Would that bother you? It wouldn't if you were screwing at least 2-3 other women right now. That's the only way to get over her, and also the only way to make her respect you enough to want to have sex with you instead of her new lover.


She started tearing up, and telling me that she couldn't give me an answer.

Don't ever buy some woman's bs words and crocodile tears when she is off screwing another guy! You have a lot to learn. This girl is going to stomp all over you, and it will teach you a lesson.

Yeah Bible Belt is right about everything.

Especially the phony crocodile tears.

Don't ever listen to that sh!t from any woman and be affected.

The only time you can believe a woman's tears is when one of her family members or close friends have died or you watch her stub her toe and she starts crying about that lol.

I have other girls I've been on dates on, and seeing where it goes..lol.

Also, I know she's not giving him ass, because she told me she wants to get off the pill, because it's stirring her hormones up all crazy. She brought that up, because I thought she was pregnant, but it's because she took her pills wrong. Messed up the dosage or something..LOL.

So, now what?
 

"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.
