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.
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.
Sweet! Thank you!S1NN3R said:Click on the person's name in the upper left of their post, select view public profile. In the upper right, there will be the option to add that person to your ignore list.
Funny yes, in a pathetic kind of way. His attitude is getting old. He's just a chump with too much attitude. Maybe he's recently come out of the AFC stage and is finding his groove by going to the other extreene and being a ****y self-absorbe little biatch. He'll snap out of it eventually (If he's lucky) and find his own balance.Duke said:Dude, how can you hate the Birdman? He's created some of the most hilarious threads on sosuave in recent years.
I don't even know if he's a real person and I'm aware that he rarely contributes real content, but as long as I get a laugh out of him, I can't really get angry about it.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
