"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.

Okay so me and my gf are on the phone and she tells me that she's going to the cinema on monday with her friend craig. Now i dont know the guy because its one of her friends im normally laid back and She tells me all the details of what shes going to see etc and i just said "cool, so anyways"

so would you say this is a test to see if i get jealous?
Reason i think this is because of the way she mentioned it just out of no were, either way i aint worried.
 

"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.

To be honest if my gf ever went out somewhere with a man to the movies or ANYWHERE, i would dump dump her azz. I couldn't even handle her talking to a man on the phone i almost kicked his azz the next day but she stopped me.

DJsparky,

Personally, I'm not sure that I agree with the term, test. I don't think she has made a concious decision to 'test' you.

From my experience though, you did handle this 'test' well.

You won't often get the results of your test, but occasionally you will.

For example, with a girl that I'm seeing now, we're sitting talking about all sorts of things. I can't remember the conversation so well, but she mentioned that I don't get jealous - read: I'm secure.

It was the results of much 'testing'. But as its not a concious decision, your girl, and my girl alike will not initially realise, "hey, this guy is really secure." its only after passing many tests like these that it will suddenly click in their head.

Well played. Keep it up. Don't fret about Craig. He'll probably pay for her movie, and pop corn, she'll receive some emotional fulfillment and some receiving of goods (movies/pop corn) fulfillment which all girls have. At no cost to you.

Exellent.

Keep playing how your playing and make sure this girl is worth your time.

Best of luck.

Yeah, I'd say it was a test. If you'd acted flustered and were blatantly bothered then you would have 'failed' and looked insecure (which we all know is definitely not attractive).

Remember that you're the great catch, so you could have any woman you want. Therefore why would it matter if she takes a friend - albeit a male one - to the cinema. You won't be worried because if the worst were to happen (and it won't) then you could quite easily find yourself another girl.
Dead on. Good input.
