"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.

So this weekend I might have some company. Been priming for this a while now. I've literally shed blood and tears for this opportunity. I'm cooking up a storm for this girl, got dessert ready to go, you name it.

Well about a week or two I suddenly get infested with roaches!

I'm no slob...I keep a relatively clean place, it's gotta be the *#!$ neighbors. I'm so damn pissed. I've been running around the apartment with a vacuum cleaner, it seems there are 2 main villains right now.

I fear that my female visitor will see one of these and turn and flee before she even can see me with my shorts down :mad:

Any good roach extermination tips...I don't care if they only work for one day, that is my purpose.
 

"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.

propably not the best place to ask for roach solutions. As far as what else you can do, I'm really not sure. If some girls know there were once roaches in a place, even if your place is clean, and you since taken care of it, they still won't trust to be in that place, they'll cosider it very tanted for quite awhile.

Keep kitchen surfaces clean with sanitizer or equivalent. Put roach poison near suspect sources. Seal any visible cracks near floors, vents, steam radiators, sink pipes. It's common sense man.

You could always flea (& small insect, like roaches) bomb your apartment... today would be the day to do it though, as you don't want the whole place smelling like a flea bomb when she gets there.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I would take her out to dinner until I got the roach thing under control. Man that sucks, but I would say do not let her anywhere near the apt. while you have that deal going on.

Befriend the roaches and have them do various chores for you, keep them enticed with maybe a large raw t bone steak.

My previous apartment had a SERIOUS roach problem. It got to the point where if i go into the kitchen in the middle of the night and flick on the lights, 3-4 of those fvckers would fall on my head. There was not a single square inch of the ceiling that didnt have a roach on it.

I got some potent stuff, forgot the name, and they dissapeared in a couple of months.

But yeah roaches really scare chicks to death, so i'd take care of it as soon as possible.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That takes the cake :p




Well I think I've vacuumed all the suckers up for the short term, I really need to seal up the entry points though. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that my bad relatives don't drop in at the most inopportune time...
