"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.

Why do I always get f***ed over? I'm so tired of it. I could explode

"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.

That's what I'm trying to say as well.

Prom was fun. One of my friends whose a freshman offered to go with me the day before prom. I went with her and had fun. I told myself i wouldn't go with a freshman, but it was last minute and i thought i needed to go for the experience. Our group was great. A lot of my really close friends. I danced with a lot of girls and didn't just isolate myself to one. Overall it was a good night

Let me put it this way. A couple of my friends who are really good with girls told me that they would have basically cussed this girl out. I didn't do that because i actually considered her feelings. Sure, i wanted to, but I told her what I posted instead. i could have been an ******* and i wanted to be that way, but I thought I rose above that.

The difference between the "old" you and me, bukowski, is that I do believe in myself and I honestly don't want to do what my friends do. I respect how you live your life. I just don't see the similarities that you see.

Cussing her out would've been much better than what you did. It would've been decisive and manly. What you're doing is trying to find a "third way". That's nigh impossible. Accept that you need to do what your friends do. Just fvck the girls. Then, dont let them fall by the wayside. Keep calling them. One of them will keep calling you back. Soon as you know it, you're in a relationship.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
