"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.

When you are dating a girl there is a subtle but significant move to watch out for: the power kiss.

This is when (often during a goodbye) she kisses you with a swift, hard motion that almost knocks you back the way a punch would. It's not a French kiss, and it doesn't linger, so it sometimes flies under the radar.

However, there is a static charge release that you should keep an eye out for - this is often the gateway to her heart. It means she had love for you that was simmering for some time.

Have you ever experienced the power kiss and what followed?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I experienced one in January 2012, and it led to a 2.5 year relationship.

I also experienced one the other day, in the middle of a disagreement (to be continued).

The Power Kiss was first demonstrated in a Season 5 issue of The Brady Bunch (with the character from Little House on the Prairie kissing Bobby and him seeing fireworks).

I think the worst part is we think it's a joke. We're waiting for the gag. But there's no gag

Funny I have experienced this. I just thought it was a product of confusion on whether to go for the lips or cheek.

As Bobby Brady showed us, the Power Kiss is no joke. It often means more than sex.

With the Power Kiss she is usually saying goodbye, maybe hugging you and then she aggressively plants one on you with force (a little harder than Millicent, but Bobby did pull back properly). Sometimes there are a few in a row. Almost like they are pushing you away. It sinks in later what type of energy was transferred (like the fireworks). I actually thought of the Brady Bunch analogy after posting this.
 

"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.
