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.
Lol oh great another one of these people...people like this need to stop being so damn ignorant and just realize that the whole 2012 theory is no more real than Y2K. All it is is just a "theory" for a bunch of easily tricked people to believe that the world is going to end.AlmostThere! said:Or at least the way of life will be changed dramatically. It may be 2012, but definitely within the next 10 years.
I believe this wholeheartedly.
I never told anyone this, but this is the reason why I feel like I need to find a relationship now. I've reached many of my goals in life. But I never had a female love me and I loved her. I think this is a BIG part of being a man. Having a woman. A woman doesn't complete a man, but having a female love you is a GREAT feeling. Sadly, I didn't even have high school "love".
Anyway, after hearing about another earthquake and tsunami...my beliefs on the end of this world has only been made stronger.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The mayan calendar doesn't actually end on 2012. It's just the beginning of a new calendar on that date.
You know, if you'd be more open to ideas about improving your life and with women as you are with dumb sh*t like this you'd be a lot better off.
Don't listen to the smart people here, turn on that boob tube and listen to the loudest idiot. Then you can come here and complain to people who are actually trying to help you.
Atta boy. Keep it up sport.
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.

No one told the media to blow it out of proportion.
2012 is just made up.

Let me get this straight... in a forum that is just to "Get chicks" or attract whatever, you're pulling the "dependency on women" thing?Pimp-sicle said:Get over your dependency on women for your happiness. You can keep saying that a "woman doesn't complete a man" but those are words you've memorized from reading here; not your own thoughts. If you keep depending on women...
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
The other guy is right. Too many of these guys' confidence levels rise and fall because of women. First thing he needs to do is develop a life that doesn't crumble every time a woman leaves his life.GetOveIT said:Let me get this straight... in a forum that is just to "Get chicks" or attract whatever, you're pulling the "dependency on women" thing?
Its like an alcoholic advertising AA with one bottle of whiskey in the pocket it just too ironic... better to say dont get hung up on a woman that doesnt like you, just move on, and whatever you do dont fall in love too soon or too fast.
Your country's current state of affairs is the work of former Presidential Disgrace George W. Bush. Obama's not helping much, but he didn't make things the way they are.5string said:I'd worry about Obama before I'd be concerned about an earthquake or a tsunami.
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.
Before you flame me further, let me say that I absolutely agree with you about Bush. Feel better now? By the way, what time does Glenn Beck come on so I can check him out? Go get yourself a double tall non-fat latte and have a good day.Alle_Gory said:Your country's current state of affairs is the work of former Presidential Disgrace George W. Bush.

Go back to your bomb shelter. I hear Glenn Beck is on.
Because he's an elitist!!!!!5string said:Before you flame me further, let me say that I absolutely agree with you about Bush. Feel better now? By the way, what time does Glenn Beck come on so I can check him out? Go get yourself a double tall non-fat latte and have a good day.

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.
