"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.

Been DJing this girl hardcore for the last month or so.

She texts me today: "I think we need to evaluate where we stand."

I reply with "I agree. We really should figure out a date for our wedding instead of just talking about it ;-)" (We joke about being "married" all the time)

Her reply: "Lol. Nevermind"

This completely confused me. Any ideas about what to do from here? She seems to be interested, we have gone out a few times etc. What do I do?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Butt text her an tell her you were kidding, and ask her if she would like to come over for a bit, so you can talk to her in person.

Work from there.

Get her in person to talk so you can see what she wants to talk about.

Didn't get a chance to see her today. Should I still bring it up tomorrow, or just drop it for now?

Sounded like:
"Lol nevemind... i know where we stand [now that you said that]"

dont get all afraid and say your kidding... unless she was totally hurt from that... cuz gee, that would definitely hurt her feelings :rolleyes:. no biggie, saying that youre kidding doesnt make a big difference, so don't bother.

i might be late... but next time you see her... just be like:
"so you wanted to talk about something? i didn't want to talk about something serious... about us... through text messaging... blah blah blah."

a lil pause where the "..."s are... dunno lol i had it visioned in my head perfectly.

So if she likes you... the words serious and us were in the same sentence... she might pick up on it subconsciously and react positively.

or theres always the vice-versa of that.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"Its hard to consider where we stand when I am always giving you a piggy-back ride! OINK!" - A sure way to make her feel fat and appreciated.

lesson one: you are not funny. quit being silly. that is why girls want older guys. even if she normally laughs at your jokes, don't think she actually thinks you are funny. i have yet to meet a funny person in real life. i doubt if you would be the first.

"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.

Forget about the where we stand stuff.

Make her guess, keep her on her toes, NEVER be PREDICTABLE.

Women dig UNPREDICTABILITY.

Even if you want a LTR, if play it right, she won't want to look at another guy, you'll have your LTR, and still keep her on her toes.

Every now and then drop lines indictating only friendship, something simple eg "You are such a good/lousy friend".

Then, when you get the chance, spend some quality alone time, etc...

Make her go nuts over you.
