"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.

Yes, this is about girls, but I have to vent/laugh at myself. I'll be brief...

I had a friend who moved about 1200mi. away. Anyhoo, he has a GF here. I hung with her once (with some other friends), and she/I hit it off pretty well. I didn't try anything because I wouldn't take my friend's girl (had that happen to me and I wanted to run 'em both through). She calls my friend and I end up talking to him. I said I was hanging out with his girl (jokingly, of course). He then proceeded to give the biggest insult a guy can endure...

"It's okay. I trust you with her."

:trouble:
 

"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.

Last time I checked, trust was a good thing to have between friends.

I guess it'd be a little different if he said "I trust her with you", but it sounds like he meant that he wouldn't expect you to pull something.

LOL, guess that came out wrong...

The fact the he trusted me wasn't the gest of my point. Notice that I said I'd never take someone else's girl. My point was more that he trusted me because, at the time, I couldn't get a girl to save my life.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Not too bad, actually. I've DJed a few girls, even mocking one for sleeping through class. Turned down a coupla love notes (yes, love notes). One gave me her number and I've never talked to her before.

Phone numbers: 5-6 (only one turned me down)

Now, if I only do something with those numbers... :crackup:
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

lol. That would only hurt if you had low self esteem.

Because you would have taken it in another translation:

Are you saying im ugly and have no game that you can trust me around your girl? Because you know I have no chance whatsoever anyway?

Yes, that would hurt. But only because you probably really lack game anyway.

As you said...

Mocking a sleeping girl is not DJing. :D

No, the worst thing a guy can say to another guy is "nice d!ck"!: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.
