"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.

Sh!t test, low IL, or genuine confusion?

Yesterday I hit on a girl I already knew, who just left a guy after finding out she was one of a few things he had going on, and after setting up a date I got a text that reads like this:

"Don't book it just yet. I really WANT to see you, but I CAN'T see you atm, I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm just a bit messed up still".

Obviously I'm gonna let her reinitiate contact after that, but is she asking me to be persistent, understanding, or just to take a hint?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

That has never stopped a woman from rebounding. ..

Just run that through the translator.. "I have low IL in you but I think I want to have you stick around until something better comes along... I hope you are a good beta provider.."

I wouldn't text anything back.

It could be low IL, or it could just mean the chick is mature enough to know shes not ready to get involved romantically with anyone right now. Not everyone jumps at rebounds. Just date other women in the mean time and let her come to you when shes ready.

Dont read into this too much.

Respect it by giving her time and space, it's a sign your a man of quality. Don't hold much unto her words and have false hopes. Remember, nothing is permanent in this world, and that includes words given by women. Just let her be,

If she has interest on you, regardless if she has a boyfriend or had just been into a break-up or messed up a bit, she'll make it easy for you, in your case i can only guess that she has 50/50 IL in you. Find other girls to go out with, reason with this was we don't want to have false hopes with words women gives us. You can never know what's really happening with her, she might have been fixing her relationship with her ex while this is happening.

So yeah, find other women and have plates. Since you were one of his options, it is deemed fair especially for a man to have MORE options.

You made your offer, wait for her to ger back to you. I banged a chick a 2 month ago who dropped a guy after she was feeling lonely 3 days later. When they want it they will call. Excuses come from chicks who don't.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

At least she's not leading you on. Give her her space.

Genuine confusion my ass. Here's the deal.

1. Women who are interested in you won't confuse you.

2. Women who want to see you will move a mountain to see you. Use a celebrity maxim i.e. Would she tell Channing Tatum or Ryan Gosling that she can't see them atm because she's still messed up? No, she'd quickly straighten her ass up.

3. For excuses like these, you've been placed on the backburner. Don't hold your breath.

4. Give her space. Assume your princess is in another castle and forget about her, she likely forgot about you.

5. Flakes and excuses translate to low-no interest. Have you read the official translator on this site in the tips section?

6. Don't chase the carrot. Just fall back.

Judge nismo says. That's some tips and my ruling.

Case closed.
