"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 she plays hard to get

Ok, weird one here.

I met a gal on a uni open day. Month's later I coincidentally add her on facebook, thinking she was someone else. After a while of correspondence via messages find out it was her.

Regardless, I am certain it is just a little play, but she is acting all hurt that I said goodbye so fully. In over 2 weeks she is travelling the world and I bid her good luck with that tonight. Despite this scenario being completely trivial, it would be nice to be reminded what the correct course of action to playing hard to get is.

My response should be me explaining that she was the one who walked off to do soemthign rubbish and not message me back. As though she was absolutely rude. Or do I just give it a few days and say the same. Or other courses of action. Of course, I know I am not going to say sorry. It didn't even cross my mind.

Ahh I have been out of the game over a year, and boy it is nice to be back.
 

"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.

Talk about overthinking! Stop putting the ***** on a pedestal. Yes, women play hard to get from time to time. Sometimes you make a ballsy move that usually works and a woman like this will just brush it off.

The solution is simple. Leave it alone. You don't need to deal with women who act like this. Talk to other women and forget her. If she comes around shortly after that and changes her attitude, then maybe give her a chance. Remember, you're your own man. Don't let women play with your mind.

whao, I think I made myself missunderstood. What she was doing was simple playful banter. But it is my belief that minor reproachment symobolises small conflict. Even if it is playful.

And in any case, I was just looking for the generic response. For future reference. Years ago I read it on the old DJ Bible, but I cant work the new format. It was somewhere in the section for AFCs.
