"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.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
This just popped into head and seemed like it made a lot of sense to me so I thought I would share it on here. Well I'm 19 so my generation is all about texting and holding conversations over text but wouldn't this set you up for failure on a date with this woman you've been texting 24/7? You talked so much over text that when you are in a date and find yourself without words you know exactly why ( I'm talking about paragraphs texted not lite chatter). So wouldn't it make sense to keep conversation short during text and use it sparingly and to set up dates to hangout ? Lemme here some input on this :rock:
 

"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.

Ya well you can talk, but I think that as soon as you make an appointment for a date you can lay off the texting until the day comes that you meet.

Ab-so-lut-ely.

But you'll be pleased to know that all PUAs are aware of this fact.

Also understand that it's not bad simply because you'll run out of conversation ideas. Rather, it's also because you don't want the woman to know a lot about you. That will lower her IL. You want to remain a mystery. Just because you don't spew out your life story over texts doesn't mean you can spew it out in words over the dinner table.

I figured many PUAs knew this ha figures I just find out about this :eek: , but adding that extra mystery by not spilling your life out on the table is a plus :rockon: so what should you text a girl then ?
