"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.

How can you tell your girl is cheating/considering it. Last night we were together and something just seemed off about her towards me almost an undetectable distraction.

Come to find out she had gone by her first ex's house to pick up old personal belongings which she showed me (thus how I knew) items consisted of adolescent relationship material ie crafty little things with pics of them and I love yous, notes, clothes, inside joke posessions etc.

I'm curious now if she had a realization we're not good together/thinks she wants him back or worst case scenario she out right was disloyal.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Always trust your gut. Secondly the minute you start suspecting there is cheating, the relationship is doomed and your best bet is to move on. Sorry for the short advice but thats all that needs to be said, look at all the other past threads on the topic and you'll see what I mean.

My fear is what if I move on when in reality I made the cheating or dishonesty up in my head from previous experiences?

How do I get the truth and realistically act on that?

You have to ask yourself, are there signs of cheating or are you being jealous. Now that I reread your OP, it sounds like the latter.

At the end of the day, you have to let go of the past, that means letting go of the times you've been cheated on in the past. It also means that if you move on from her, you don't worry about the past, you trust your judgement and move forward.

edit: letting go of the past, doesn't mean you don't forget what you learned in the past, you learn to watch out for red flags.

I just had a look at your thread history and there is something that startles me: how long have you been dating this women? how long have you been exclusive?
 

"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.

WASSUP GUYS....

I don't know if you guys peeped this but it is SO subtle,
but true never the less.

I had a theory about this after seeing the pattern over
and over and over.

ANYTIME that I'm having a great time with a woman I
just met and I can FEEL an emotional connection forming
strength, and she has a boyfriend / husband....

Guess who blows her phone up?

It happens precisely at that moment. I havent had a one on
one relationship in about 2 years, but when me and my girl
hit the rocks, I could tell when she was around another dude
and she was enjoying his company.

You can FEEL this in your 3rd Chakra.

It's the exchange of sexual energy and it PINGS your intuintion
like crazy, out of nowhere. That's what happens when you
form a relationship with a woman and have frequent sex
together.

She's leaking sexual energy (yin) and bonding with masculinity (yang)
other than you. People feel this stuff but don't understand it.

My man Steph over at ideagasms can get you up to speed on
this stuff. It's deep and once you've been on both sides like I
have, it's enlightening.

It still does'nt stop me from being a man though. Most women
now a days play men harder than men ever played women. I'm
talking about juggling 3 dudes at once with immaculate efficiency.

It's kinda scary how slick women are, how many secrets, so on
and so forth. Our culture is in dire need of some equalizer;
something to restore balance and true authenticity.

Johnny Walker, are you in the Army?
 

"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.

If a girl is really and I mean really interested in you. You will know cause the guilt will get to her bad if she cheated. She might of just had an off day from seeing her ex and memories running around in her head. There are signs to look for if she is cheating. You can go to AskMen.com and do a search on a cheating girlfriend there. Don't stress about this though unless she keeps acting different around you. Or if you really wanna know whats going on just come out and talk to her and say you feel something is up with her.
