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.

Oh man, I would have TOTALLY embarrassed the old b!tch at that point. When she said that you were older than your date, you should have been like "not as old as you, grandma" with a good-natured laugh. That would have shut her right up.Mike32ct said:By a 50 yo woman.
I was 34. My date was a 20 something from online. We were at a bar. This older lady started talking to us, actually her and largely ignoring me. My date continued to talk to her to be polite.
Then the old bytch said to me loudly (in front of my date), "You're OLDER THAN HER!" I'm like "yeah?"
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Agreed. I wouldn't put up with that shyte today, but I was a chump then lol. But regardless, it IS disrespect.Bokanovsky said:Oh man, I would have TOTALLY embarrassed the old b!tch at that point.

Once, I was at a bar with my date and there were two drunk dykes sitting next to us who started to inject themselves in our conversation. They told my date that she looked gorgeous and told me that I looked like I was "really into my date" (clearly a back-handed compliment). I largely ignored them and at one point told one the dykes that she should get more drinks (she was already drunk as fvck).
I had another situation where some swarthy-looking Starbucks "barrista" tried to flirt with my date right in front of me. My date made a comment about wanting something simple (as opposed to your typical 17 ingredient Starbucks latte) and he just exploded with verbal diarrhoea, mouthing some nonsense about how "the best things in life are simple" while totally ignoring me and not taking my order. I interrupted him in mid-sentence and told him that I wanted a tea. Then, as a joke, I asked him if that was simple enough for him. My date actually laughed at that.
Bottom line, c0ck-blocking is an extreme form of disrespect and you should not tolerate it (unless it's a girl that you've just met and she's with a group of friends, in which case there isn't much you can do).
Wow. What a b!tch. What was her problem? Did she know you or something? Maybe she had it out for you.Mike32ct said:By a 50 yo woman.

She pulls my date aside and talks to her for like a half hour. This old bytch ignores HER date who is about ten years younger than her btw.
I finished up my drink and left all of them. Even the bartender guy whispered to me as I left, "What's up with that old kunt lol?"
My date tried to text me later to see what happened. I was texting my buddy at the time to share this F-ed up story. I texted, "Are you still up?" I sent it to my date by mistake lol. She must have thought it was another plate booty text haha. She got pissed off and never spoke to me again.
I never bothered with much younger women after that. Too much age drama.
No, it was my first time at that bar. We absolutely did not know each other.El Payaso said:Wow. What a b!tch. What was her problem? Did she know you or something? Maybe she had it out for you.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
