"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.

Recently I thought I would give some of the online dating a try. I'm not experienced with it but it can really help filter out all the crap out there.

Anyway, I was going through profiles on a dating site and I came across this one. I was shocked because it didn't contain the usuall bull**** that I normaly read. Anyway.... I will be taking this girl out some place nice in a few days from now. She is very attractive and I've had some great conversations with her on the phone. She is showing interest and I haven't even met her yet. I've been very busy with my projects and she has called me several times even after I didn't call her a few times when I said I would.

Anyway this is what she said in her profile.
"
I'm looking for a man with a good moral character. He has to be rugged, yet gentlemanly. He has to be kind and generous, but not a pushover. He has to be intelligent, but not arrogant. He has to be able to bait his own hook, and be willing to bait mine too! He has to be able to fix things, but will let me try to do it myself first if I want too. I want a man who loves his family, but is not a mama's boy. I need someone who will respect me and be there for me, and support me without question, as I would do for him. I want a man who will be devoted, and loyal and generally good in all things. I want a man who will love me unconditionally, and will be there for me whenever I need him,
"

Any of you ******** experts out there care to take a shot at what this girl said? Something is bothering me about this girls interest level. I just don't understand why it is so high. I' haven't done much of anything. Bascially no work at all.


I'm strongly considering taking this girl out for a great dinner at someplace expensive right away. Basically, show her what a real man can do. :)
 

"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 real man doesn't need to impress her with an expensive meal right?

The profile sounds pretty standard to me. Women never mean what they say so I wouldn't read too much into the profile.

Just go out and have a good time with her - you won't know what she really is like until you hang out with her! Good luck! :)

yes yes yes.. I have to keep telling myself not to listen to what women say :)

A real man doesn't need to impress a girl with a nice meal... but there is nothing wrong with doing it if that is the type of guy you are. I'm just thinking old fashioned ... that is type of man I am.

i wouldn't spend a lot of money on a girl who i don't even know... take it from me, girls can be much different once you meet them in person...

good luck, mate!
 

"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.

you better pump this girl for a sense of humor!!!!

I know far too many girls who have no sense of humor, they threw it away when they started thinking about life outside of this hell hole I live in... I've whipped half of em into fun shapes;) the rest of them stay hard assed and can't take a joke and don't take the ******* side with stride at all.

hope she's cool...

BUT

unless this girl has a sense of humor your only going to get the juices flowing with good arguments

Actually, I think things will work out. I saw her on line and she asked me to call her.

She has a good sense of humor. I had her laughing and smiling so much on the phone her cheeks got sore.

I'm just going to pick her up in my car and take her out to dinner and then do something fun. The plan is to keep this date old fashioned and traditional. I told her that I'm going to take her to a place that I've never been to before (and take a chance). That did the trick and it sparked the notion that I'm confident enough. I also told her that I don't usually plan things and I like to just do what ever comes to my mind. That should confuse her a enough for now :)

I'll post the field report of the date on sunday.
