"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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"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.
