"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.

I was talking with this girl, now i'm normally just a really sarcastic joker type... she jokingly says something about me probably not being the most romantic guy, I say something along the lines of "oh, sure I am"... then she puts me on the spot and says "ok, name a few romantic things you've done"...

Luckily I was on the phone and really did have to go so I was saved by the bell, but it really caught me off-guard... whats the best thing to say in that situation? Should I actually be telling her romantic things ive done for other girls in the past?
 

"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.

Soz, used that same line before, mate. ;) That line of yours would have only worked on the really insecure girl. The confident ones would laugh at you and see right through you - see that you're just too insecure yourself to say yes or no.

Well she was joking so just joke back. I wouldn't read anything into it.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

its all about how you serve it.

Then again, a girl never had to ask me about that crap, they learn to judge me by my actions.
