"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.

A lot of complaints I had heard from women is men who "boomerang" on them. Typically these guys ask for their # but take like months to call them or they ghost after a date or 2 and the woman is left thinking, "Okay, guess he's not interested" only to have him call her 6 months later. The latter is typically most frustrating and of course these women never return those 6 monthers or boomerang daters.

They are like "F-them' and they move on...they had their chance.

Do you think those boomerangers are following proper "plate spinning" protocol, or are just plain douche's in their technique? I'm sure they are under the impression that they are ALL that, too.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I do this all the time. Could be there's other women I like more, could be work got busy, could be I switched jobs, could be wishy washy post breakup.
Excuses excuses. I think this is more popular with the Milliniels because women in their mid-30s and older don't put up with that crap.

I think it's hilarious that you think women don't do it. Women in their mid 30s put up with a LOT more than an 20yr old btw.
Hey, I date women that don't do it. So I take it you only date women that, like yourself, do it as well, because the women that don't do it wouldn't men that do do it.
