"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.

Ok, theres this girl that im trying to get with and i have class with her everyday and we always talk and shyt. I think i have a real good chance but she has a bf back in arizona. I know she wants to end it with him but she says she feels bad about it. I think i know how to get her to break up with him but what are some of yalls ideas?? Me and my friends gf hung out with her on fri night and she seemed kinda uncomfortable, but she still talks to me quit a bit it seems pretty open. How can i get her to loosen up and have more fun? She seems kinda shy but not toward me.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Why does she have a bf in Arizona? That's so stupid, long distance relationships almost never work! Flirt with this girl, go out somewhere alone for fun and see how it goes. She'll end it if she wants to! Whether she feels bad or not. From my experiances, that has never stopped girl from breaking up with anyone. Sounds like to me she thinks of you as a friend but regardless,

Take her out and dj her ass baby! Fvck the bf! lol

oakraiderz2, I can't believe you're asking a question like this. But for what you should do, I say keep you game up for a while so that her interest level is high enough to do something with you and realize that you are better than her "boyfriend" in AZ who is probably banging other chicks anyway. Her "boyfriend" shouldn't mean jack **** to you, just do the same things you would have done if you didn't overhear that conversation.

NYC Dude is right, do it man. Go for it, you only have one life and a billion other girls out there.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
