"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.

So there's this really pretty girl I have been spending time with. But she drives me up the wall, is incredibly annoying. But I could not figure out exactly why everything she says bothers me so much until it occurred to me. She worships everything and everyone.

Whenever she talks about any random dude it's "he's a badass" and "he's a baller" then she mentions how awesome his car is or whatever. And this goes on and on and on and not always about only people either. This goes for inanimate objects as well. We go to ride bike and she's gassing her bike telling me how awesome it is and on and on and on. It's just a regular $200 or so bike. Everything is on a pedestal for her, and just to be clear 95% of what she says involves this random worshiping. I really cant have a conversation with this girl about anything else. And it does carry over to me too. She's constantly complimenting me, and it's cool and all but when you are getting it literally all the time it gets old and makes me feel uncomfortable. I mean save it for when I do something good right?

She's really pretty but i'm about to cut her off because i'm so not like this. I have no role models or anyone I look up to, people are people to me. I'm just not excited about anything short of a million dollars cash in my hand that's for me to keep.

Has anyone here ever encountered this that can offer me a little insight? I really don't know if i'm just being stupid about this or not.
 

"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.

Not had anything direct but just a thought, maybe she is over compensating for something. Maybe she lacked stability in her childhood. You'd really have to post more background info though to get a better insight.

Other than that only thing to add is if you can't stand to be around her the move on. 7 billion people on the planet, can't like em all.

She totally lacked stability in her child hood, big times. I'm starting to realize now this is because of that...

I don't have direct experience, but I know a chick that loves to count other people's money.

"His new job must pay like 80k."

"He's probably clearing 120k at that company."

"I can't believe that b@tch got promoted. She's probably up to like 85k."

I'm like you Sgt. I don't worry about what other have or make or own. I would get annoyed by someone that worships everybody else. It sounds very AWish to me like a celebrity gossip of sorts. I'd phase out this plate.

funny. how many times the HBs might think something like that. ;)

just tell her. i mean if that is how she deals with the world you gotta appreciate that. but you also can tell her how that makes you feel (as gay as that sounds), she should understand.
 

"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.

Yeah man totally, the first time I had a girl treat me something awesome like this is when I learned to never put girls on a pedestal or treat them any different than anyone else. It just makes you feel weird, you loose any connection with that person you had. It's like, well i'm just me, WTF is this person thinking?

I had a high school buddy like this. Everything was great to him, never had a bad opinion on shyt! This type of music is cool, so is this one, and this one is awesome too. That shyt gets old. To me, it just appears they never thought honestly about anything in life and dismisses all things as great. You can't love everything, always, period. It's like if you punch them in the face they'll say, "woah, that was an awesome shot!" Seriously?
I understand the character type...it's like you want them to experience something crappy just to have them admit a dislike!

I don't blame you for wanting to cut her loose, it would drive me up the wall, too.

I really can't even have a rational conversation with this girl about current events or something. It's like a "worship mode" she is on and cant do anything else with her brain. It's a tuffie because she really likes me alot (no surprise) but I really need someone I can talk to rationally. Our conversations go like this.

Me: So WTF is up with the recording of Romney?!
Her: You know I love you right? You have the broadest shoulders, you should have been a boxer.

Like literally, i'm not joking...
