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.
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.
Is it this one?PRMoon said:My dream bike is the North American Warhorse custom V-rod

Click the 2nd articl (Oct '03), it's the sweetest street fighter I've ever seen. It's a harley with aprilia suspension and other parts. A truely awesome machine.
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.
Maybe I'm just drunk, but the only similarity I see is that they both have black parts. Other than that, I'm missing whatever you're seeing.Lovesorrow said:Cloud, the hero, rides a bike similar to this one I think.
I am sure it´s different. Maybe this bike is from the game, but in the movie It´s different.S1NN3R said:Maybe I'm just drunk, but the only similarity I see is that they both have black parts. Other than that, I'm missing whatever you're seeing.

And if you'd clicked my first link, you would have seen another Cloud bike...
No that's not the same bike at all, I mean other then the fact that both bikes are V-rods. Click on the second article on the North American Warhorse site I linked in my previous post. The bike has aprilia parts and suspension, double stacked head lights and no front ferring at all. There are other detials that makes the bikes vastly different. Check the specs sheet in the article, the bike I linked is nothing short of amazing.Lovesorrow said:Is it this one?

Have you watched the movie "Final Fantasy Advent Children" which is based on the FFV 7 game series? Cloud, the hero, rides a bike similar to this one I think. This movie kicks some serious a.ss. It´s all made by computer. :cheer:
No, my first link is the bike from the game, this link is a toy of the bike from the movie. It's called Fenrir, after the wolf from Norse legend.Lovesorrow said:I am sure it´s different. Maybe this bike is from the game, but in the movie It´s different.![]()

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.
