"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.

what is the best response when you are out with a girl and someone asks, "Is this your girlfriend?"

additional facts:
-assume that you have not clarified with the girl whether you are GF/BF.

-assume that you have been on 3, maybe four or five dates but you just arent at that steady stage where you can use the label "girlfriend"

-assume that the person asking is just curious, they are not trying to hit on her.



should i go with something CF, such as "she's competing for the spot..."

or shoudl i be frank and say "well maybe eventually, but weve only been on X dates..."
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Her? She's my babysitter. Now stop asking so many questions...I'm trying to convince her it's time to take me home and give me a bath."

or

"Oh, she's my grandmother. Does this place have a seniors discount?"

This is an awkward one I get a lot and I have used various replies in the past, such as:

"She might be if she plays her cards right"

"She wishes!" or "In her dreams!"

"No, but I'm working on it"

"Not yet. I'm still testing her out"

"I have no idea who she is. She just keeps following me around"

"No, she's just my bit of rough"

"She's my personal bodyguard"

"Why do you ask? Has she got competition?"



Depends on the girl. I prefer to avoid giving serious responses as it creates a feeling of awkwardness which neither of you would want.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

"she's my sister, dont you see how childish she is?"

last time i was at a pool hall, the cashier guy i knew he was asking me who she is. I replied , "she's my sister cant you see the resemblance?" that just made her want me more. Of course he had a boggled look on his face, haha

Before it was official when my softball team asked in front of my gf i said "she's my cousin" then i kissed her.

The rest of the season they referred to her as my cousin. "how's your cousin" and "did you lay pipe to your cousin yet" to me and "what's up cuz" when she came around.

Not the best response, but amusing and goes with my personality.

I would have said something like 'she wishes' or 'in her dreams' but I think Wyldfire's first response is far better. :crackup: Good work.
