"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.

in a long-term relationship (when the initial butterflies die) after a couple of years maybe? e.g. what similar hobbies do you have etc.?
the obvious problem is, that you can't talk all the time for years.

especially opinions from those that are in their first ltr would be appreciated (and are in the range of 25years or more)?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

We play around a lot, long-established little games of naughtiness and punishment. Hasn't got old yet.

If you find the right woman you can talk all the time for years, the same as with your male friends.

Also Grand Theft Auto - I love having a girlfriend who enjoys stealing cop cars and blowing up hookers.

I have observed this with my parents and older couples (grandparents of friends): they don't do $hit together. Even when they're eating, they're doing so quietly and not much needs to be said between them. Although, at the end of the day, and after all these years, they're still together and can't be anymore happier. I honestly don't get it. Well, maybe it's like comfortable silences that almost all of us in here are familiar with. I have a good friend whom I could hang with all day and we'll barely say more than 4 lines. Even if we're playing sports or watching TV or whatever.

I'm interested in hearing some responses from guys who have some experience with this.

how do you know they are happy? the fact that they are together doesn't necesseraly mean that much (there could be other factors, like security, not-loneliness...)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
