"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.

"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.

Looking at the little druggie chicks throw up in the Haight-Asbury. Going to Castro Street on a Saturday morning with the bears on the prowl in the bars. Looking at folks defecating on the street wherever. Just driving around and have folks pop the bird at you for going slow because you don't know your way around.

Driving down the famous steep & twisty street (don't do I like did and hit the curb at the end, thinking there was another twist). Visiting Alcatraz Prison. Visiting Chinatown. Silicon Valley & Pacific Coast Highway on the south side.

Do yourself a favor go to the Marin Headlands too Tiburon, Sausalito, Stinson Beach. Rent a zip car and get up early and be in Sausalito for breakfast. Stinson for lunch, and Tiburon for coffee.

"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.

You can also drive up to the top of Mt. Tamalpais and check out the Muir Woods. The Headlands are overrated and ugly af, Tiburon has better views.
