"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.

Valentines Day 2006

"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.

Heh.. AFCed my last V-day, when I took a friend of a friend out that I didn't know to well. Talked 90(me)-10(her) to her, and was suddenly surprised when there never was a follow up date after that. Hah. nervousness then, but that seems gone now.

:crackup:

Hopefuly, this year will yield better results. If not it's another year of single awareness day! Yay!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'll probably just go to the gym and tell random hot girls "Happy Valentines day" inbetween sets.

But seriously, it's just another day of the year to me. Nothing inherently special about it.

Agreed. When your single it's nothing really. Doesn't bother me.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Haha.

Not unless I actually decide to quit playing and stick with one. Not likely by then.

This topic gave me an idea of coming up with a valentines day opener to use on that day. :D

So what is it? :-/
 

"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.

When is valentine's day?

I probably won't celebrate it much. no GF at the current moment, although it is a good time to hit on girls.

I personally think that doing anything major on Valentines day is a complete waste of money!

Rose prices are astronomical, restaurants put on special menues that are ridiculously expensive, and you can never seem to find the right present.

From experience, trying to show your lady a "good" time on valentines day (present, dinner) is gonna set you back £250+.

I find that spending the evening indoors where you cook her a meal (even if it comes out crap, she will appreciate the effort), bottle of champagne, and some sexy underwear for her tends to do the trick. Present + dinner + champagne = less then £100.

+ having her in a comfortable environment is bound to lead to the bedroom, for sure!

Down here in Ecuador, I can get 25 roses for 1 american dollar. Pretty cheap and it does wonders.
