"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.

Just got to love these crazy psychotic women.

Drama never really does anyone any good, so stay very, very far away. I won't have anything to do with a woman who had children before age 30, and this drama is about a thousand times worse.

Just keep your head up and watch out.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hmmm, do you think Halloween is a good day to get reaquainted with old psycho gf's? It's the only day of the year that being creepy and wierd as possible is acceptable. Maybe I could dress up like Freddy Mercury and she could be a penguin and we could set on the futons at Wal-Mart and reminise. Happy Halloween.

The advice you guys gave was helpful, I would be so lost if it weren't for this board. If ya got anything else to say on this or any psych majors out there that get a look at the beginning post, lemme know what you think.
