"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.

Should I call?

Alright, so I met this Hb not so long ago at the library and we hit it off. We spoke for about 3 hrs and I walked out with her digits. Now we met up once for lunch and spoke for another few hours. I kept the convo interesting and she kept on asking me questions, so it was obvious she was engaged (good eye contact). Now, I called her last weekend to see if she wanted to get some coffee but she was busy studying for an exam she had the next morning. Nonetheless, she told me she would call me back some time this weekend so we could get together after her exam. Now, usually I would not call her back considering the ball is back on her court and I have pride, but it seems to me this chic is playing hard to get. Should I just blow her off or should I wait and call one last time?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Pride sucks eh? Seriously, if she legimately had an exam to study for, what are you doing with your thumb up your ass wondering if she blew you off?!?

Phone her and set up another day, if she gives another excuse...well, THAT'S When you reconsider.

That, and kick yourself where it hurts for being so bluntly stupid about your pride.
