"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.

"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.

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 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.

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.
