"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.

Can they ever workout?


Whats your experience of cyclic relationships, and what was the outcome? How many break ups, till you completely gave up and walked away forever..
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think they can work, but only IF the man was the one to break it off.

A guy will break it off for "logical" reasons - i.e. not enough sex, talking too much trash, she was being lazy, etc. Therefore, if he breaks it off and she's able to come back to him and actually show that she's grown and is not doing those things that he dumped her for, it can work out. It goes back to the whole principle of being able to walk away at any moment - some women won't believe you'll do it until they actually SEE you do it and FEEL what it's like when you're not in their life.

As per usual, I'm not an advocate of the whole "back and forth" thing, but the only times I've seen it work out where they did this and it ended up working out was when the GUY did the dumping.
