I assume s(he) would know a thing or two about men.
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.

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.
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.
Women like these books because they invoke in them the true motivations behind their attraction. Women fantasize about taking the "Challenging Bad boy/Jerk" and capturing him for a relationship.Originally posted by Rollo Tomassi
I was at Barnes & Noble picking around in the psychology section and I swear to God every prominently displayed book title in the section was, "How to turn him into Mr. Right", "Fix Him", "Fixerupper", "12 steps to getting him to commit", and "Why men are bad and need you to correct their thinking" or some sh!t to that effect.

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.
Had a look at the rules and they may be good for attracting AFCs. They ain't gonna with with any DJ and as anti-dump said: when two people are using tactics the answer is simple: She always loses and you move on. For a tactic to work, only one of them has to use one.Originally posted by Rollo Tomassi
This only irritated me because last weekend I was at Barnes & Noble picking around in the psychology section and I swear to God every prominently displayed book title in the section was, "How to turn him into Mr. Right", "Fix Him", "Fixerupper", "12 steps to getting him to commit", and "Why men are bad and need you to correct their thinking" or some sh!t to that effect. I wonder how quick I could get a book published titled "Put her off Forever" or "How to get that fat b!tch into the gym and fvck you like a porn star withouth marrying her" ? It's basically the same friggin' thing they're selling. [/B]
WHAT A CROCK OF SHYT! What kind of stupid punk-ass would make a life commitment to a woman he's known for only a year?8
If you've followed The Rules, your man probably loves you and wants to marry you. Your problem is not if he marries you, but when! If it's been more than a year, see less of him and think about dating others. You've already spent more than a year waiting for him to propose; do you have another year to wait?
