"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.

One of the chicks I'm talking to on the phone told me "It takes me 3 hours to put my makeup on" and I didn't really know what to say so basically I just was like "Damn girl... 3 hours?!" and then she was like "Well more like 2! I have long hair that's why.." I think I could've probably handled it better. Ideally what would of been the best thing to come back with?
 

"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.

Her: "It takes me 3 hours to put my makeup on"

You: "Are you that ugly?"

LOL not recommended.

I don't think it meant anything unless she is using it as an excuse as to why she can't do something.

I was in a similar situation, but it was when me and her were falling asleep in her bed, she told me she had to get up at 6 to be somewhere at 10. I made fun of her and actually went through with her what exactly she had to do in the morning that took so long, and she ended up getting up 2 hours later because i made her realize she didn't need to wake up so early.
 

"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.

A lot of girls take this much time. 2 hours. It takes them that long because of the long hair. Unless they blow dry it (not likely)!

If it would have been a sh!t test it would have been in a question or situational (form) statement.
