"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 I went on a 1st date with asked me

"what are you doing in the mall ?"

I replied,

"picking up girls".


Now, I told myself afterwards at least I was honest and I didn't want to be a puzzy and lie about it.

needless to say, I think she won't be seeing me again. I don't know I didn't ask for a second date.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The next time you see her and she asks you how it went, just be like:
"Yeah I tried picking up chicks, but I gotta admitt none of the chicks I met were as cool as you. There is no reason for you to be jealous.:rolleyes: "

Come on man. You will be ok. All that happened, probably, was that she put up another shield for you to parry away.

A little advice though, never admit that YOU are picking up "girls." GIRLS want YOU, not the other way around. Something around the lines of being the fire and not the moth...(cliche, I know)

If you are indeffinately infatuated with this girl, the best advice I would give is to continue being "honest." But, please do it so that it advantages you. Dont go for another "witty" line.

I cant really tell you specifically what to say, but I dont think that will be too big of a problem for you. A little thought can go a long way.

Most likely however, she probably isnt worth any extra effort. Just learn from previous experiences mate.(notice i didnt say "mistake")

All the luck to you, my friend...

Yeah, I have a problem with honesty sometimes too.

The other day I was out and a girl I must have it on when I was drunk or something came up and said, "hey I met you before." She was really nice and friendly.

"really? I don't remember."

"You mistook me someone you knew."

"I was probably just making that **** up." I admitted.

She walked away.

Just laugh.

Eventually you'll learn to censor what you say. You can still be honest without saying sh!t that'll get you in trouble - just keep the information vague.

So wait .. you took a girl to the mall with you and told her you were there to pick up chicks while she was next to you? That's just dumb.
 

"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.
