"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.

So my question is:
Would wishing someone a Happy Valentines Day sink the ship?

Coz I've read all them articles about lose lips sink ships, never confess to a girl you like her, blah blah blah. BUT! Giving a girl a call and simple saying, "Happy Valentines day", would that tell her I like her and weird her out? I dunno. Was planning on doing nothing. Shes still in school, I'm finished. But my sis came home and said, "So did you do anything for Sarah?"
Me: "Nope"
Sis: "Ohh not a good move, gotta do something".
Wouldn't it be all weird? Spose depends on the situation, but generally speaking?

Cheers thanks for the help
 

"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.

Personally I think that if you like the girl, she would probably have felt some of those vibes by now, so calling her and saying happy valentines to her wouldn't really blow your cover (that you like her) , it would probably show that you care and could possibly win yourselves some points? but getting her something would be different as you would need planning and since she is not your valentine, it wouldn't be necessary to get gifts. Thats just my 2 cents on the situation, correct me if I'm wrong.

oh well, with a 1.7mil population in Brisbane, there are bound to be more easy pickings :D
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Her: Hello?
Me: Heyyy, happy valentines day.
Her: ...you too.
Me: mmm...
[pause]
Me: Soooo...

She was doing some heavy homework. Quite possibly I disrupted her workflow.
Bah! And I thought chicks appreciated this crap.
It's not like we don't get along. We went to the formal together, we kino each other frequently, she invited me to camp with her about a month ago, our group of friends are quite positive she's into me and tell me frequently to, "hurry up and ask her out". Never fear Captain Procrastination is here! So maybe I waited too long. Phone call wasn't all that bad, lasted for 18mins. My guess is she was tired, yeah.... I'll go with that. :cool:

I would never ring someone to say Happy Valentines day.....Its not a big celebrational day. You would have been better dropping her a card or rose......
 

"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.

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
hmm interesting thread.

I *almost* wanted to make some sort of a nice gesture for my oneitis (who has a boyfriend lol) but then decided no way. AFC move.

I'd rather let her wonder about whether I like her or not. In fact, I am 100% sure that her boyfriend is not going to do sh!t for her, but her many admirers that are constantly chasing her will do stupid crap like send her flowers. I don't wanna be one of those dudes. I wanna be one of the guys she chases instead.

I'm with Egoist on this.

I have several prospects that I'm not doing anything for Valentines. Why? I'll let them figure out why. Am I busy? Who am I with? What are they doing? I bet the V-day sex he's having is hot. Whatever little fantasies these women will cook up in their head will have more/better effect than anything I could buy/do/say for on Valentine's Day.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
