"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.

Hellu!
I'm in a new class and trying to get to know the persons. (We have a special school system here in Sweden, the same persons have the same classes all the time) So I am trying to get to know 'em.

With the girls, I joke around with them and such, talk to them, joking about them and me ironically and such... the thing is, they don't want to talk with me or they are shy to me, so they don't often initialize a conversation. When I tell them something about me, I feel that they don't wanna know about me.

I think I am giving them too much attention and that makes them think I am needy.. Any other people experienced this and know how to solve the problem?
 

"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.

Well if you think you've been giving them too much attention then give them less. Also when you are talking to them rather than telling them about you, why not ask them some questions about themselves, maybe twist the words of some of their answers to tease them. Make them laugh at themselves.

Yeah, I am doing that, teasing them and making them laugh about themselves. I ask them questions about themselves too, but they still not want to know anything about me? Maybe these girls are very egoistical? :p

no no needy is when u are dating a girl and u r begging to spend time with them. Just dont tell them about you, you should keep them guessing. Keep the convo interesting and put in alittle kino.
