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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
In_the_Wild said:You know when he was asking you about sex, and you didn't like the subject. And he kept talking, and you said you didn't want it...
And than you start asking him what he wants, and he sais nothing.. And you push it, and he's like, you got me wrong..
It's the same thing going on. As you grow older, you will figure it out. Now, either someone of you gets their guts together and does something, or you both gonna end up screwing with your heads and not your bodies, which is the wrong way around.
when you are alone, KISS HIM!
Dreamy Chick, would you ever go through the process of making a list of all the contradicting expectations you have?DreamyChick said:Can you blame me for not wanting to talk about it? I didn't want to get worked up over something that he said was never going to happen. I will ask him to kiss me the next time we are together and see what happens. Should I be honest with him the next time he asks me what I want, or will it scare him off?
pay attention to the BL, ignore the verbalDreamyChick said:He's playing more games and still you insist that I am. Are none of you going to address why his verbal is not matching with his body language? Any possible way that he's just teasing me and trying to bait me for his amusement?
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
MacDiddy said:I'm still a bit confused about what you (DreamyGirl) wants from him... In black and white, could you explain to the uninitiated what you want. A bit of kok?? a, quote, relationship???, end quote. What???
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I'm guessing you're not very attractive? That would explain his lack of interest and your naivete and LSE?DreamyChick said:The point is guys he's denying what I know happened. It was in my gut and I am very angry right now that he isn't accepting any responsibility. I am not crazy.
i dont think she really wants to play him, but rather get insight on why he acts one way but talks another way. for women, once we know exactly what it is that the man is going after, then we can determine what to say and do next .Latinoman said:Maybe she should go to that Women players site. They seem to know how to play men.
I'm here to give MEN insight. If she was going to something very serious (real relationship, etc.), then I might give her some insight too. In fact, I gave her insight, now that I think about it.
But she just wants to get laid. Then wonder why he is not even calling her. I told her...he is not into her. He just got a little horney.
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.
