"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.

i've been thinking about my ex-girlfriend, doing some analysis etc. i'm going after women right now, i was the one who dumped her, etc etc.

we started dating in january a few years ago and the following month came valentines day and she sent me one of her thongs in the mail with her perfume as my valentines day gift.

should i have seen that as a red flag that she was not long term material? the sex w/her was obviously off the hook. none of my friends had ever received such a thing for valentines day.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

No. Why should you? That was a good gift, that was cool of her. Something a girl you're dating SHOULD do. Was she letting you have sex with her before she sent you it? Because if not, then I'd say she was being nothing more than a c*cktease, and you should've ditched her. But I don't know what happened, you'll have to tell me.

How do you figure that? What's so malicious about it? Bad advice.
