"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.

Alright, so, when I went home last week, I decided to look an ex up and see what she was doing. We ended up going to the movies, but she brought a friend along (not totally unexpected, but unfortunate).

What would you guys say to doing the same thing, when/if we do something together? Inviting one of my friends along? As a fan of irony, I think it'd be good for a chuckle, at the very least. But what might be the consequences?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

uh, she's your ex and she brought along a friend as a block against you. you should have nothing to do with your ex as she has clearly (with her friend) has made it with you.

wtf are you doing, use your brains to calculate this.

Living in the past to get revenge is like driving the opposite direction to beat your opponent to the finish line

I'm not trying to get revenge, I'm playing her game, sending as many mixed signals as possible.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Ok, I'm so ****ing sick of that. If it were that easy, I wouldn't be still interested in her. Hitting on 10 women, thats easy. But each one, I think "gee, wouldn't it be great if it were her." I've slept with other girls and thought the same thing.

I've got the worst ****ing case of oneitis, and I'm not nearly as ashamed as I thought I'd be.

On the plus side, it makes it a hell of a lot easier for me to hit on other girls, since I don't really care about the consequences nearly as much, since I have no real deep interest in them at all.

Girls bring friends with when they are not 100% sure about you. You have not built up enough rapport for her to go alone, its the same when they need the bathroom they will only take certain girl friends in their wiff them, some girls they wont because of the rapport that exists. Their is nothing wrong with you and her bringing friends along, just make the time with her count.

Thats the opinion that other people (and I) had, but I wanted to hear it from someone here.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Not sure what you mean there. Are you saying nothing could happen? Or that I've got nothing to lose?

Both... Nothing BAD could happen becuase you're just friends now right? Or at least that's the way she's trying to take it. And if she shows up alone and you have friends, what do you really have to lose? She's an ex meaning you've tried it before and it didn't work out. Will you really miss seconds that much?

Bring some friends who cares there are tons of girls in the world. If you want to play silly social games with her go ahead! I mean they're fun... just to see what happens... well I get a kick out of it anyway.
