"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'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.

Bahahaha, I'm sold. I think if I remember this, I'll pick up the book, for the sheer amusement. On TOP of that, I'm Canadian! (funny how Americans get idolized)
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Hmmmmmmm.

Oh. I don't know. I think the 3rd one is spot on!

Of course. I wouldn't even entertain the idea of marriage, so I'm not a good judge.....:rockon:

those guys are dj.
nah I wouldn't go that far, since thinking and saying it are two different things and it shows when push comes to shove they will opt for the safe answer but not a good answer.

Guy number 1 has the most game since he is banging a chick on a constent basis and that is all we know. Guy number 3 has some game since he was able to secure a LTR with a pretty chick for over a year but does not want anything more and is just stalling instead of dating other girls. Guy number 2 goes on an expensive dinner on a first date in hopes of getting some and therefore has a weak game.

My take of how they should have all answered:

Guy1: say "Thank you" and proceed to sex. If he doesn't love her he shouldn't say it and just continue spinning plates. If she demands him to say he loves her and commit to her and he doesn't want that, he should drop her.

Guy 2: Nothing can be done here since he created this situation. However he could have also said "Thank you" if she offers to help pay the bill and should have split the costs. Just because you pay the bill fully, doesn't mean she is going to put out.

Guy 3: should have said "if she sticks with me, you never know" and wink to the father. That wil probably buy him an extra 2 months and during that time he can look for an exit plan so he can juggle more plates.
