"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.

I've been with my girl for six months now and it's going to be her birthday.

I've ran out of ideas so i'm asking you DJs for help.

Anyone?
 

"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.

Get her a card and something small. There's no point in spending a fortune on a woman you've only known for six months. She should earn expensive gifts through her loyalty, good behavior, and the length of time she stays with you.

I did the hallmark-card thing once when I was 19 and it was truly an AFC moment. If you get her a card, keep it verry simple. If I were to do it again, I'd get something real cheesy to downplay it like a cat wearing a birthday cap saying happy birthday.

What I plan to do in a few weeks for a woman's birthday is taking her to her favorite place to eat, have a bottle of her favorite wine along with some of her favorite flowers back at my place, then make her feel like a woman. It's not expensive, but minor planning ahead such as this makes a woman happy because it proves you listen to what she likes, you also like what she likes, and you took the time to think and make what she likes happen in one day. The dinner can get expensive sometimes, so if you want to cut this cost you can just cook her favorite meal at your house, which could add more sentiments if you cooked well.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Alot of girls I talk to say that a homeade dinner and flowers is the best. I've cooked many dinners for girls, and they ALWAYS seem to really appreciate it.

Get a decent bottle of wine, make her a candlelit dinner. It isn't that $$$, but will score you alot of points.

**** in a box.

6 months? if everything is going well then something nice but not over $50 i'd say.

Cards i'd avoid unless it's a funny one. the only one i ever used was had big casanova/afc shpiel on the front, but when you open it, words from the front are actually again on the back and spelled out "You better put out."
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

How about nothing?

You're not going to get married, so why waste your money?
