"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.

With this whole valentine's day nonsense going around, it's hard to sort through. The main thing i think is that if you're not in a LTR, you should generally try to avoid doing much. Or if you have a main plate you want to eventually LTR, it might be a good idea to do something with her.

But what about us single guys who don't have any serious plates? I have one F-Buddy, who i'm definitely not hanging out with on V-day, and I have a couple other girls that i'm talking to, but havent actually hooked up with (dont really consider those plates). I would like to get laid. which is the best option and how do i execute it?:

(1) Should I hit any of these girls im talking to up to hangout? How do I ask them? I was thinking something lame like "Hey, wanna drink wine with me and make fun of all the people in serious relationships?" IDK how well that would work though.

(2) I have a few cute girls on Tinder (i know, flame me if you want) that live like 3 miles away. Havent tried to make plans with them, but should I throw a hail mary out there and hope they are desperate for a v-day date? I don't care if i never talk to these chicks again.

(3) Part of me just wants to stay in and not deal with all the nonsense and watch the new season of House of Cards (which i'm amped for), and let the chodes fawn over the girls

(4) Some DJ's have mentioned that V-day is like christmas for the single guy because no girl wants to be alone on V-day, so they'll be much more receptive to opening/one-night-stands..Should i go out to the parties and bars?
 

"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.

In my experience most girls who are single band together on valentines day, sit at home, gossip and drink wine together.

Hit up one of your plates but make it non-nonchalant. Let her hamster spin about it being Valentines day but in your mind its just a Friday. All else fails - reward your FB with a bit of rapport.

Why not take a day off? I know for me personally, I am using House of Cards as motivation to finish up this project by tomorrow. If I get it done, I get to have a marathon of Kevin Spacey telling me what he's about to do before he does it and Robin Wright acting like a c*nt.

F*** Valentine's day! It's just for couples! If you're a single man and go to a bar, it will be a sausagefest!

Give up on V-day aka national tricking day if you had nobody a week prior. otherwise, v-day is overblown bullshyt.

Get equipped.

"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.
