"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.

Haha had I thought of that text I would have sent that a week or so ago when she first went silent. I won't be contacting her again though.

Yeah I shall try and get 10 on the go......
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Great being a man said:
Only reason you regret anything
btw this isn't a regret thread or a "please help me get her back" thread. This was just about getting feedback so I can do better with the next one.

^ Even if you're joking, don't man. I really hope you're joking! It's not worth it dude. You gotta have sex with a girl you actually like. Don't have your first time with some woman you don't care about. Even if you only do it past 30, or 35, or 40 (and I'm sure this won't be the case), who the hell cares? Would you rather remember how you had to go to Amsterdam for the rest of your life, or wait for a couple more years, hone your game, and do it with a girl you've earned affection and attraction from?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Be more sexual in future. If they sense your fear they will get turned off.

Sex is better when you are young, as in teens and 20's, as in terms of physical pleasure and sensation
