"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.

These are some ******** phrases I've heard lately, I need a translator!

GUY: "Are you going out tonight?"
GIRL: "I'm not going out if you're not going."

"Jon and Amy do everything together, not like us where we hang out at night and go our seperate ways during the day."

"Be nice!"

"I hate you."

"We don't need to hang out tonight, If you already have plans it's fine."

"Do you like her or something?"
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Sounds like a case of the green eyed monster. Maybe a sign of insecurity.

If "be nice!" is said with any hint of a smile or a sparkle in the eyes, even if it's accompanied by a "love tap" on the arm, I've almost always found that to be a good thing. I hear that after teasing girls all the time.

"We don't need to hangout. If you already have plans, that's fine."

What she means is "I want us to hangout tonight, and you should ditch your buddies for me."

"I'm broke and since you always pay for everything I'm not going if you are not going"------------My ex played this one all the time

"Jon and Amy do everything together, not like us where we hang out at night and go our seperate ways during the day."
"God you are such an awesome guy and I just want to be with you ALL the time"----watch out, the chick has a serious case of oneitis

"Be nice!"
I agree with choasphere if she says it laughing. If she says it like she's your mom then you could probably translate it like this...."God you have no manners, why the heck are you always embarrassing me"

"I hate you."
"God, I love you, but you get me so frustrated cause you are such a challenge and I can't change you"------Most of the time it means something along those lines unless she just caught you having gay sex with her dad in which case it would probably mean "I hate you". Usually if girls really hate you they won't even speak to you.

"We don't need to hang out tonight, If you already have plans it's fine."
"You better be breaking those crappy plans you made and hanging out with me or you ain't getting in these panties for a week" or "it's OK cause I'm thinking about dumping you soon and there are gonna be alot of cute guys at the party my girls are going to."

"Do you like her or something?"
"I know she's prettier than me and I'm a little insecure about it so will you please stop talking about or looking at her"
 

"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.
