"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.

A girl drops the "I have a boyfriend line" -- what does that mean?

I'm thinking it means she realizes I'm flirting, but she's taken right now so she can't do anything. Not necessarily a bad thing, since I was just practicing and flirting is something that I usually don't think I do enough of.
 

"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.

Either:

1. I have a boyfriend, literally.
2. I'm not interested in you.
3. I'm not attracted to you.
4. Get lost!
5. This is a test of your masculinity.
6. You look like you have little to offer.
7. I have a better deal waiting for me.

If #'s 2, 3, 6, & 7 are false, the girl really won't bring up a boyfriend.

There are more, I'm sure. But what you need to do is stop worrying about whatever the f**k it means and come up with some witticisms for when you hear this line.

"Oh cool, he can cook us breakfast in bed!"
"I'm not interested in him, I'm interested in you!"
"I just met you and you're already calling me your boyfriend."
"Good, he gets to hear us passionately make love and try to learn something."

There is also a big ass thread on this in the archive.

Got another one for you....just start singing Pleasure P's "Boy friend number 2" out of no where. ( I've used it with success) :).
Just be like.....

"I can be boyfriend number 2,
Cause the first one he don't really seem like he know what to do"
 

"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.

I'm hesitant to bring this up as I love to use it, but...

Girl: I have a boyfriend.

Me: Don't worry about that. I'm really not the jealous type.

A girl letting you know she has a boyfriend is actually doing you a favor. She saw signs that you were flirting with her and let you know from what direction you should game. I can't tell you how many times I've dated girls who have boyfriends but some how never mentioned it. I really don't like being played by girls and when they drop the ball and you and the b/f meet up "accidentally" or what not, dude usually wants to fight. I don't need that drama.

When a girl says she has a boyfriend up front, at least she's taken a step to being honest with you from the get go. How you proceed from that point is a debate in itself. I personally don't believe in spending all that much time with girls who have boyfriends because if I'm not having sex with her then what the f*ck am I doing with her? I'm sure as hell not listening to her relationship issues and what not without a hefty pay check or some kind of compensation. If I do end up hooking up with her then I've willingly thrown myself into the drama cycle of her transitioning from what ever relationship she had with her now ex to doing things my way. 99% of the time I'll only hang out with a girl who has a boyfriend if she's sexually charged and isn't interested in seeing me again after we've handled business...cause I sure as hell won't be interested in here afterward either.
 

"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.

To be honest I just ignored it and kept doing what I was doing, I don't think she was lying but it was an obvious name drop. Probably she realized I was flirting and decided to make sure I knew, but that's good. I usually come of as an innocent cute kinda guy so the fact that she noticed I was trying is definitely a step in the right direction.
