"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.

Hey All,

This is a pretty long story , so bear with me on this.
Basically there is a woman at my work she is 29 and I am 24
I met her back in Feb, we talked and hit it off during a party of other co-worker leaving and when she left she gave me a gentle touch on my shoulder and saying that she would talk to me monday, didnt get anything from her
Anyways a couple days that I mailed her and was seeing her more and moree at the door of the building when coming to work or when going home, she touched my shoulder and hands etc when we were departing.
One day i asked her to have lunch together she said she can't today but tommorow..that's what happened we had lunch i asked her number and going out for a drink or movies (she writes about movies etc).
She said yes she would like that but she is kinda busy this month and had to go on a businesstrip(this is true) anyways after she came back i asked her again after a couple weeks...i didn't want to suffocate her or something so I took it easy. She said yes and we went to the movies..but there is one thing when i was talking to her the morning of the day we were going to the movies another guy that was sitting next her started to talk to her after I left and he was all "oh hey like that movie etc etc"....she then invited him to come...she then emailed me about that and said Sorry but it "just" happened and wanted to make it up to eat together before the movies so we went and did that.
Had fun during the diner but yeh..i was eating couldnt get much out of her for some reason ...watched the movie and we went all home...i was still kinda pissed for some reason and didnt talk to her for like 1-2weeks.
Then all of sudden she sends me a "funny" mail , I responded didnt get anything back...
next day i basically was trapped again i send her mail wanted to how she is etc just casual talking she responds one mail and the other she doesn;t .
I confronted her one time about this and said that i answer her questions about me and when i ask I expect an answer back not ignoring my mail ...all she could say is Sorry Sorry Sorry and turned red.

After that we were talking about a movie and we both hadnt seen yet and she was like "well lets go watch it together" somewhere deep inside i knew i had to say no...but i said ok, we agreed on a saturday.S
She wasnt sure if she had a b-day during the morning or afternoon that day so she would get back to me on that...she didnt come back to me on that i text messaged her on thursday to check if she still can come her answer? "No! have the b-day from 1700, wanna go sunday night?" Told her ok is cool.
On Saturday i text messaged her when she wanted to meet up etc and that went well. She came 15min late but let me know which was cool , we checked the movie and after that we went to eat and had a nice convo , and she came up with an idea to work together altho our department dont have **** 2 do together AND AGAIN i said ok...after we departed just gave her 3 kisses on her cheeks. next day i encouraged to send it to our CEO she doesnt really know him , but i basically work alot with him when he comes up with ideas etc. She did and he liked her idea and she was all excited and we were making up ideas to make some videos and she wanted to stay after work and work together when every1 left told her i dont have the programs @ work but have them @ my house she then responded saying that we could it @ my house.
At the same time i was going on vacation a week later so we couldnt start yet and she would go on vacation when i came back so i wouldnt see her for 5 weeks.
Next day we were still talking about our "lil" project through mail and then she invited me for another lil party for some co-worker who left she said she wont stay long like an hour there cause she has another party then(from her old work)i said im not sure and if i will come and if i did i wouldnt be staying long either...this were her exact words "Ok, well spread the word!!" said i will and asked the location i spread the word to some coworkes of mind none of them wanted really just one..so we went to that location...NOONE IS FKING THERE...i called her she didnt pick up, we kept looking around found noone from our work, asked my coworker to call her and see if she picks up...she did..he was like me and sincon are here now where are you guys? They went to the other side of the fking city ...i was pissed...i didnt call or text her after that until the next day and mailed her if she forgot or something that she invited me or something, she said she was really sorry and thought i wouldnt come and i told her after it didnt fking matter if i did or not you told me to tell other ppl about the party thank god only 1 person wanted.
She then said she was sorry that the other people changed the location at the last moment and forget to tell me...she wanted to make it right with a small drink with me and that coworker i declinded cause i was kinda pissed that day (this was also the last day before i go on vacation) after some mails we were talking normal again how her night was etc and i asked her for lunch again cause we wouldnt be seeing each other for awhile (5 weeks) she said yes she would like that ...when we met she came with her whole freaking department..thank god 2 other guys i know from other department were going to lunch at the same time cause it would have been fking awkward...when we were in the supermarket we finally were talking with each other and on the way back too but she didnt want to sit with me instead she promised the other she would..okay no problem.
She said she would pass by when she would leave and she did and we basically were leaving at the same time and then i asked her if she actually has a bf (found out that day from someone that she has a spanish "lover") I just wanted to hear it from her for some reason.
She said no she doesnt have a bf but has someone which doesn't have alot of potential with her...i didnt really get at the time.
When she left the same 3 kisses and i wanted to kiss her on the lips she gave me the cheeks when i backed up she had a VERY BIG SMILE for some reason.
I forgot to tell her if she wanted some souvenir so i texted it and she send me a repsonse @ 01:30 or something that its very sweet of me etc but didnt really get a yes or no..didnt want to get into it

Anyways during my vacation (2weeks on vacation now) i send her a text , she responded wanting to know how the weather her is etc casual talking.

When i came back i didnt see her cause that day she went on vacation , didnt send her text or anything during this time.
When she came back i send her a text how she was doing etc and after awhile i asked her 2 come over saying that im not the best cook but could make somethings.
She said she couldnt on that monday but another (seeing the pattern?) guess what i said...i said ok and when did she had time she gave me the day and it was cool
then talked about a movie i know that she would like and she also agreed on that but wanted do it on the same day, told her we probs would have a timeproblem she didnt respond on that.
Anyways the monday she came back @ work i get a email from her saying that she cant cause she had some filmfestival for work again and if im available next week i said yeh no problem, should keep the same day ?
She didnt respond on that and was responding my other questions and stupid me i left it be...so this morning i sent her a mail this is how the convo went

Me: I hadnt heard anything from you should take I that as a hint that you don't want to come over anymore.
Her: No, I think it would nice to come over but still kinda busy with the festival, next week?
Me: Well that's a shame, No i don't think so..have fun at the festival!
Her: Oo really? How about the week after?
Me: Neither, told her my mom would come back from vacation and im gonna go to her since she is alone and we had lost a family member and i dont want to leave her alone at home
Her: How sweet! you mom is lucky! Wanna go for lunch later?
Me: Lunch as in walk to supermarkter or grab a quick restaurant?

After this she didnt respond when lunch time came...i mailed
Me: You had your lunch already?
Her: No, kinda have problem with my PC at the moment and think im gonna eat behind my pc..Sorry
Me: lol, whatever enjoy your food


So after you read that...what is her deal? Why does she say yes and then chang without letting me know and letting me to fish for it...
Should i sill try and see if something could work between us? Or should i just ignore her now not start the convos? Im kinda lost and hope any of you know can give me something...

Also...that spanish guy is her "lover", basically she is his bootycall and heard from a coworker that at another company party she stayed with some random guy at the club while the rest went to other club.
At first i was ok weird then i was like well she is single she can do w/e she wants i guess right? Or am i wrong in this too?

Thanks for reading all above i know most of you probably got bored of it ...i just needed to tell someone i guess..
 

"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.

You're damn right I got bored of it. 85% of it was completely useless information.

I don't know what this girl's deal is, but if she liked you, then you probably blew it with all the emails, and all the texting, and all the hanging out with NO SEXUAL ESCALATION.

Kisses on the cheek? Who cares?

Frankly, you seem like the typical nice guy. You spent all this time with some girl, giving her more attention than she earned (EARNED is the crucial word), and then you're shocked that she's banging other dudes.

Your relationship is that of a brother and sister, not of a sexual male and sexual female.

In summary, you gotta forget this girl. She's a dead end. And you gotta read the DJ Bible and work on yourself. You're at ground zero. Gotta rebuild yourself from the foundation.
