"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.

I'm loving my position of power now. The ex that broke up with me over the summer (not sure exactly why) is now missing me something crazy.

It wasn't more than a couple weeks ago, I couldn't even stand looking at her flirt with other guys, but then something snapped, and I just completely stopped taking her seriously.

Just a few days ago, I told her that I was expecting a date with a different girl, and she got jealous, and hung out wit me all nite and even got a little physical.

Now just chatting on MSN ends up making her miss me more (and sometimes even makes her a little horny), but it doesn't bug me at all anymore. Man I love it when the tables turn :D
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Sounds like you're having more fun spending time with her than you did when you were dating.

even though its nice... try not to abuse the power she is giving you..

be the better person, and if you have no interest in her, let her go...

u hate it when girls play games.. karma can be a ***** so watch out ;)
 

"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.

Oh, I don't know, we had plenty of fun while we were dating ;). Now it's just a bit less serious since I don't view her as a LTR option anymore.

Funny you should mention that sav, my name on my friend's Xbox is "Karma B****" :D

Don't you worry though, she has made it perfectly clear that she dosen't want a LTR, and I'm making it obvious that I'm looking for another girl. It is a nice thing to have a girl that you are completely comfortable with and visa versa.

Heres an idea. Your ex really misses you and is starting to get physical. But, you don't really care much for her ne more and you got a date coming up. You could play both girls! Fool around with the ex a little bit and see the new girl. If you get serious with the new girl tell your ex you met someone new and you cant fool around anymore. Start pimping b!tches!! Now, I cant tell you bout the pimp game cuz thats another story but. Just use your ex for money and sex and see new girls!!
