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.
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.

To answer the question of this thread first: Hopefully before this year ends.ketostix said:About 21 for me. I missed several chances when I was 15-21.
I have a question, how many on here are still a virgin. What's the oldest virgin here? lol
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Exactly.comic_relief said:19.5 years old
I didn't feel any different after I lost my virginity. I was like, "This is it? It's no different than before."
It's not really that big of a deal, just everyone makes it out to be such a bigger deal than it really is.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
It should be written, "Who" is the oldest virgin here. I think PuertoRican_Lover is the oldest virgin here!ketostix said:I have a question, how many on here are still a virgin. What's the oldest virgin here? lol
Well are you a virgin? If so, then the oldest virgin here is 45 but I have my doubts. Someone said Luke Sywalker is one so and I think he's 26 but he has verified. Other than that we have 21 as the oldest.Last Man Standing said:It should be written, "Who" is the oldest virgin here. I think PuertoRican_Lover is the oldest virgin here!
No, I"m 31 years old, thus I"m the oldest virgin on here.ketostix said:Well are you a virgin? If so, then the oldest virgin here is 45 but I have my doubts. Someone said Luke Sywalker is one so and I think he's 26 but he has verified. Other than that we have 21 as the oldest.
21! do I have 22 lol?
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.
