"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.

The past week, two girls have told me I am a "Good Boy" This felt like a punch to the stomach when it happened both times. In reality, I am some where in between a good and bad boy. Both of the girls had the impression that I follow all the rules and do what I am told. I think they may have stumbled on to my number one problem I have with girls, something I call "False packaging." See, I think girls see me as a good boy but at first but it is not until they get to know me, is when I blow their minds. My ex when I met her thought I was a quiet boy, but then got to know me and found out I was a partyer but had my limits because I find people who are constantly drunk very unappealing. She was a bad girl and I think opposites attracted in that point. I am attracted to genuine girls with a sense of humor. I find bad girls who use their bad home lives to rebel something so tiresome and boring. I think good girls like the ones I seek or the one I just blew it with at work want a bad guy. I am your typical problem on this sight and am about to say something that all of you will chuckle at, but I was raised by my mom to treat girls with respect. See, I yearn for something romantic and uplifting in the love department. But, I also yearn to soothe my needs as a man, I want to get action or sex without a relationship. I have been a memeber of this site and apply the lessons everyday at my job. Even the black dishwasher constantly says "Kevin, you are a pimp. Your confidence is a great thing at your age. The way you talk to girls and just carry yourself." Then my manager says, "Kevin, you are so easy going." I just concentrate on my job because that is what I do. I do find time to talk to girls, I just like making them smile and they do flirt back. Then it comes to the girl I like, I get very aware of what I am doing. I feel like I was back in middle school..A ****ing..*****.

I am going to a club tonight with one of the girls who called me a good boy. Let me break down the two girls who called me that

1. A girl who almost went to rehab and has lost many jobs
2. A woman with a kid who admits to cheating in her previous marriage

I am going with girl#1. A part of me says "hit it or try" the other says "No way, use her to make others jealous"


Please analyze all of this...I am prepared...haha
 

"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.

Sorry, but that's too much information to analyze. If a girl is calling you a good boy, then obviously she thinks of you as a friend. It doesn't really matter what you are when girls get to know you (I mean it does, but first impressions are what start things up), but what they see in you right off the bat.
