"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.

Simple but great book. Saw an ad for the movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio that's coming soon, got me thinking...

So...does this guy have one of the worst cases of oneitus.....ever?? What's the deal with this guy? Just wondering if anyone else has a thought on this. Any cases of oneitus that you've heard of that could be worse? Fiction or not.
 

"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.

One example that Pook loved to quote is Dante turning Beatrice - some chick he had a crush on since she was... eight - into his salvation in Divine Comedy and a few other of his works.

Dante is a little above my pay grade at this moment, I will be tackling it sometime in the future. But not surprised the legendary Pook would reference him.

On a somewhat lower level, here's a guy I was thinking of today. According to the 80's this is how you win a girl back after she's ditched you. Do this right here.

Seems like the right thing to do.... right? She dumps you but you want to win her back, so you stand outside her window with a jukebox, playing your guys favorite song.

Worst case would have to be Link from Legend of Zelda. How many times has he rescued Princess Zelda and never got as much as a peck on the cheek?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
