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.
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.

Thanks! As the resident AW of sosuave, I LOVE it when you old "mature" guys choose to "parody" my contributions to a thread, rather than just contribute yourselves! Thanks a bunch, my AW quota has almost been met today, already! WOO HA.jophil28 said:
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

That is because you secretly are in love with me, and my highly ambitious resolutions made you worry that I might be out of your league. So you had to "knock me down a few pegs" in your mind, to make yourself feel better. Which gets you nowhere, and is not healthy!!! Look Keto, you just aren't my type. How bout YOU make a resolution to stop thread stalking me? :yes:ketostix said:That's how I read iqqi's New Year's resolutions jophil. I read her resolutions as, "I want to hook it up with and use strangers so no one will know I'm being slutty, and I want to AW and branch swing and won't settle for any one guy unless he's way out of my legue."
