"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.

(Backstory: girl I like is taken, I wrote down my number and told her to phone me when she's single and left. got people there excited. some guys are now jealous. seen girl when i was out and about and she honked her horn and waved at me with her friend as she passed. Haven't seen her in the weeks since.)

I was walking down a hallway and saw two guys. One nodded towards me and I walked up to them.

We greeted.

The "Alpha" of the two tried to keep me out of the conversation and just stared at his friend and continued talking. I just stood there for a while, interested in seeing what they're talking about.

"Alpha": Hey, do you remember that party we had [at place]?

Wannabe: Yeah?

Alpha: "X" (the girl that everyone knows I like because she seems to have gossiped it around) approached me.

Wannabe: [looks at me, I look back at him with my best blank expression]

This guy is obviously jealous and wants to get me pissed. He detours and started talking about the pub where this event took place.

"Alpha": Blah, blah blah.

(I was quite bored. He must have been an AFC alpha to gloat.)

"Alpha": (finally pauses and shuts up)

I wanted to get out of there smoothly because he was trying to be a jackass, plus I was incredibly bored.

Me: (to "Alpha") I hope you feel better man. (He told me earlier that he felt sick.)

"Alpha": Take care man.

Me: (looks over at Wannabe) Nice to see you again.

Me: (calmly walks away from the two lamers)

Did I AMOG or get AMOGGED?

"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.
