"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 don't you have a girlfriend?"

"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.

I'll ask you honestly, "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

The answer you give me should be the answer you give them. Cheers!
Well to be honest, I really don't know. It just hasn't happened.

I'll admit I like the idea of changing it up and kind of throwing the question back at her(e.g., "why do you ask?"), but in at least one situation I'm thinking of, the girl kept asking! I think if I keep being to evasive it might come off as weird. I don't know. Just a gut feeling perhaps. I'm certain there isn't a 100% correct answer.

The lame answer is, "I haven't found the right person yet". Otherwise, just throw it back at them.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hi,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

To get down to brass tacks, what is an acceptable response to the question in the subject line? I've been asked this by multiple women and can't think of an answer that doesn't make me seem like a total mook. The whole spectrum of "I'm a dork" to "No woman can tame me, baby" seems bad/cheezy.

What do you guys think. I'm interested in any ideas.

"women come and go"

Somebody on here said this but I don't know who.

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I know somebody who'd get mad if she heard me say that."

Say it confidently, with a sly smile and move on.

Another one you can say is, "I'm currently accepting applications, but I must warn you I only take on qualified applicant's."
2nd one is cheese city.

Answer: "I'm picky." (maintain eye contact and wait until she replies)
