"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.

she said " do you have any single friends"

ok. so when a girls you like says that to you. your hart sinks, you bash you head against the wall and ask yourself why?. why did i become a $h!tty little AFC. when i could have been baller and just plan cool. well reading something and putting it into practice are 2 different things.


ok so now we have gotten that out of the way. lets try working better on the next one shall we?

i have been reading the DJ bible and i have read up to "be a man". it's really good. but i have no idea how to put it into practice. i mean. when i see a girl i like. i just revolt back into default. how can i change that. i mean. i am trying to change who i was before to be someone better. witch can only be a good thing. but what do i do?
 

"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.

Nope, I'd turn 360 degrees and moonwalk out and move on. Then again, I make sure I make a move on a chick before I actually like her. See target -> Isolate -> get number -> go on date -> make out / get rejected. After she proven she's worthy of my attention, I might start to honestly like her.

You're doing it wrong!

This isn't the same girl from your first post on this message board is it?

The one you've known and been in the friend zone with for over a decade?

Because I think you lost your right to be shocked by this sometime during the first Bush administration.

You revolt back to default because thats the way you're programmed. You have to force yourself to act like a man and eventually be a man.


Do you know how a real man behaves? Learn that first so at least you'll then know what to change. Its not complicated, just keep asking yourself what would a real man do in this situation and eventually the picture will start to become very clear.

Screw you man... oh wait i just got it... nice one.


yes its. thing is. there isn't really anyone else now. but i have been making roads with here. witch i will make another post about her later.
 

"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.

I would bet money with you that nothing will ever happen between you two. You may have read the DJ bible but you clearly aren't applying what is in it. You remain a huge AFC.

Dude, it's just going to take practice. You just can't read the DJ Bible a few times or approach a few girls and except magic to happen. To me your biggest problem is yourself. Stop whining about how you can't do it and just do it. You know what you want so go after it. Imagine after a few attempts Thomas Edison gave up we would all be sitting here in the dark. Also, under each post you have that tag line or whatever saying your a recovering AFC or something. Just take that off. How can that help you? Every time you look at that your going to be remind yourself your just an AFC. That's not going to help your progress at all.

hopefully this works. this was what I did. Read the bible. Imagine it.

be confident about yourself. feel good about yourself. pound and chisel that on your mind, and soul. Be a ****ing ****y guy (reflect confidence). you are the prize. don't do ****s for girls if they don't give you anything back. you are the prize. act interested but not interested in the same time. give them a way to wonder about you... basically you will need practice... and maybe a mentor.

like what pook said, a friend you are, a friend you will be. nothing would EVER happen between you and that girl-friend of yours.
