"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:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

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
