"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.

Hey,

I don't want to bother you with another long story, So I'll just ask you in a straightforward kind of way (with little context)

A girl cheated on me, because she lost attraction for me(yeah, I screwed up badly) even though she loved me. Then I followed your advice, and forgot about her completely, I stopped calling her, deleted her from MSN, facebook, etc, . Months(8) fell off the calendar, and like a month ago I joined twitter to follow a guy from my job, and not two weeks passed after I joined, and she adds me, or follows me (whatever the action is called on twitter).

OH and by the way, I have never talked to her again...

Now, I just wanted to have your point of view about what do you think is going inside her mind that made her do that ?

PS. She is totally aware of what she did (cheated)

"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.

She needs to fix what happened in her own mind. She needs closure to make herself feel better.

Whatever specifically she's going to do to make this happen will not beneficial to you in any way.

It's an itch that she can't scratch. It's not about her being interested. It's about her.

I think I understand what you're saying. But at the same time I don't understand how could it be about her, and her alone, when it's something she did TO ME.

Thanks for the reply...

Following you on Twitter? I have never been into the whole twitter thing, but I am just guessing that she's just a bit curious about your life now. The best thing to do is to have your own life and pretend she's not there.

1] Her current BF dumped her and she wants to see if she can connect with the "chump that used to love her". SHE hates being alone. You'll do until the next big thing comes along.

2]she wants to see if the man who used to worship the "godess"[her] is still suffering[since he lost the best thing he will ever have in his life].

3] she wants to know where you are so she can parade her new BF past you.

or worst of all

4] The cheater wants to get back with you.Marriage is on her mind. KNOWING you forgave her cheating and took her back, she will have NO reason to be faithful this time either. Only now you lose custody of your kids[if they ARE yours] and half your stuff.
 

"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.

He He He He,

That's exactly what I've been doing for the last 9 months. And what you think, I think myself, she's curious. By society's standard I'm successful, and I'm quite certain she knows this by far.

However it gets me thinkin' that if she dares to go as far as to follow me (add me or whatever) on this social network, why doesn't she just tell me something?

Ha Ha Ha Ha, If #1 is true, then she would have sent me a message or called.
But then again, that's why I posted this thread, because I can't figure out what she's thinking. still can't.

and, #2..... Probably more plausible...... ha ha ha ha ha
