"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.

Okay so today I'm just standing there at work when my summer fling(aka manager's daughter) walks in with her best friend to the department I was working in. Quick recap on how things ended: she started to lose interest and the last 2 times I called she said she couldn't talk and would call me back(which she never did) So today was the 1st time we've had any contact in about a month. Things were going great- I was pretty much over her and about to hook up with this new girl at work. We just talked. She acted like it hadn't been a month since we last talked. So what is she trying to do? I thought she had moved on. Also we talked for about 20 minutes(at leat it was in person this time LOL) Then her mom(aka my manager) came in and they had to go out of town. They said bye and as they walked away she said"Call me". Does this mean she wants me again or what? I really don't want to get back into this BS since it took me so long to get over her and I don't know what the he!! she wants.Need input pleaseAlso while we were talking I made sure I acted disinterested and bored(like I was over her and didn't want to talk to her)
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I think you need to talk to her about what shes feeling- If you think that she was flirting with you "call me" etc, then chances are shes interested in you.

If you want to get involved again, then she needs to understand that she cant mess you around like she did the first time.
You may need to lay some "ground rules" with her.

IMO, If you think youll get even more hurt this time round, then dont bother.

Shes definately interested- although, (i assume), she was just as interested the first time round...

If you think that you could have a positive relationship with her then I'd say go for it- otherwise, I'd say that she sounds dangerous. Chances are, she hasnt changed scince last time, and you'll may just end up in exactly the same position as you are in now, 2 months down the line.

You mentioned another girl at work- IMO, concentrate on furthering your relationship with her.

Good luck, keep us posted!

keep spitting out the ****y&funny comments....and DONT call her...it will make her wonder why..which always sparks their interest...

And BTw check out some of the other threads like this because their is osme good info

(look at the bottom of the first page, or the 2nd in the topics)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I slightly disagree. I've been in her shoes. When confronted with someone you dropped stone cold,

you get nervous and have a nervous reaction.


And depending on how you react- many people will flirt with you "just so that it isn't AKWARD". :down:

Think about more before you go and start calling her again.... who knows... it could be worth it... or not. I'm not God.

She was flirting with you. She was also testing you to see how dominant she was over you to see if she could control you. Even, she tested you to see if your that type of desperate and always available kind of guy aka "nice" guy. Basically, have a life, and whatever you do, do not CALL HER. Give her the gift of wondering about you.

DonT DO THIS!!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
