"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.

He wants to know if he should verify the date too. I usually don't.
* Unless I need to embark on a journey of 20+ miles, I wait until they write. I don't send date reminders. One reason I spoil them on dates is so I can be secretly happy if they blow me off (I save).

* They should text you sometime either the day before or day of (by 2pm or so) and will say "We're still on for tonight right?" And you say "Of course!" and they reply "I'm excited!!!"

* A lot of times I'll follow through with the plan regardless. I'll write "I'll be at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse at the bar at 8:15PM on Saturday, it's at 123 Main street in Midtown, 31249". If they text a confirmation, I'll be there. If they don't show, I text a picture of my entrée when it arrives, then shut my ringer off.

* The Low Interest Filter - Often the day before the date, I text a sweet nothing message. If they don't reply, I cancel the date the day of, around 3pm, anticipating a flake. If they really want to go, they will put some effort in and say "No, I'm so disappointed! I already started getting ready...." and you can make an exception.

* The moral is: only date women who REALLY like you.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Solid thread, this sort of knowledge should be required to graduate high school or get a GED
Decent threat. Honestly, it's simpler.

Don't text. The phone is a communication device to plan dates. Use it as such and nothing more. Anything stupid you send will be used against you, and forever there for her to see.
