"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 are your opinions on pretty women who have loads of facebook friends? Do they just happen to have this amount of friends? Or external validation or something?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

They are no different than an actress giving free tickets to the theatre where she plays, her 1000+ friends are not people but simply an audience.

The bigger the audience the more the diva get validated and feel like a celebrity.

Keep in mind that facebook for the big part is not about keep in touch or see what friends are doing, for most people facebook is more like a private tv channel to broadcast and sell themselves through a created fake life made of accurately chosen pictures and posts.

Some people know how to harness the power of facebook and use it in their favor.

I am interested in this girl, but I'm reading the warning signs and this is definitely one of them. Probably has low self esteem? Or would she be a narcissist?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I know 2 chicks with that many friends. Both blonde, both good looking. Both crazy! One is histrionic, she even describes her own symptoms to a T regarding her personality. Sometimes we deliberately pay attention to her cube neighbor at work just to drive her crazy. She needs all the attention. The other blonde is borderline. She's all sugary sweet on facebook, but a whiney beeatch in real life. Both use facebook to craft their false images. So having 1000 viewers works for them. It's all fake of course.
