"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.

Hey,

A question about a female friend I have,

now i'm a rAFC but on the path to improvement through inner game and developing myself, so i try and place little importance on any one girl, or any interaction.

However i noticed we were sat talking for a few hours in my car the other day, and she kept looking at each of my eyes left to right, then down to my lips, occasionally looking down at my body.

It's happened on a few occasions since.

Then I remembered Shezz's excellent posts about this being a pre kiss close technique for him and wondered if it was a strong IOI or just her being normal inquisative chic?

TIA
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The System of Indicators of Interest (IOIs)

-> Good, you got a IOI, I won't beat it to death.
-> Now, look for another.
-> See it?

-Yes
-> Good, that validates interest that much more.
-> Look for another
-> Act when the validation is "secure", or when the circumstances permit (you know goddamn well she won't resist, or it's part of the method)

-No
-> Create another IOI.

Kiss Her

This is a good, on-topic first post. Kiss her next time, especially if she leans in. Even if she doesn't pull her in gently by the back of the head and kiss her. If she resists, so what, try it again later.

Thanks guys,

Yes she has been showing multiple other IOI's but then again she is seeing someone else, although he has no clue and is a total supplicating afc, by her admission he doesn't do it for her.

I think it's a case of there being enough IOI's (her initiating Kino, ddb, relationship/sex talk, asking really searching q's about my sexual history/names of exes) and there is a lot of tension sometimes.

I actually think it's an inner game issue with me, I'm relying on her to provide conclusive proof. It's never going to happen I just need to bust by comfort zone and create/assume attraction.

But I was just wondering in a DavidD style whether this type of gazing was a natural mechanism, and maybe if reciprocated would set the context for an easier close.

I'll try it!

Strange, I've never had a woman look at me like that.
A lot of other IOI's, but this is not one I've ever noticed before.

Still, I don't necessarily go for visual confirmation, I prefer to think of it as a feeling that I get at a certain point.
For example, sometimes girls can sit still and do absolutely nothing, except maybe look at you...
You can still feel that they're hot and horney inside and would really like to do something with you, just from this vibe they're giving off.
 

"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.
