"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.

I know this has already been discussed many times, but I'd like to ask about my situation, since I won't be referring just to getting ladies, my problem is with being perceived as a child by both males and females.

I'm 19-yrs-old but most people mistake me for 16-17 (sometimes even 15), since I'm a bit shorter than average (I'm around 5'9) and I have a really youngish face.

Most people can tell I work out even when I'm wearing regular clothes, but my frame is extremely small, so I look like I haven't developed yet (is it possible that I have to develop yet, or at 19 I'm already grown? I'm not talking about height, I'm referring to bones structure): my muscles look really "pumped", but I still look small.

Plus, my face has really young features (I don't even have sideburns, although I have to shave my chin and moustaches almost everyday), and blue eyes and curly hair doesn't help either. I'm pretty cute, but I tend to attract just girls who are 15 or even 13 (I get approached a lot by these girls), while older ones need to be isolated, IMO because they would feel ashamed to flirt with someone who looks a couple of years younger than them.

Also, I'm very loud and outgoing, so most people perceive me as immature (which I probably am) and this doesn't help either.

Any ideas to solve these problems?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm not sure if you are suggesting bulking or if you have just posted in the wrong thread. If it's the first case, I don't think bulking would be a nice solution: I already look stocky for my height and people can already understand that I workout even when I have my clothes on, so it wouldn't change much, if not in a negative way (looking even shorter, thus younger)
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Dont shave, ever. Take extasy at least once a week, and stay up at least two nights in a row. Don't eat. Just drink a lot of water.

I'm 18 looking 25 right now... I havent eaten since 3pm yesterday, and I havent slept since friday night

I'd like to see your pic, you probably look similar to Romero's zombies;)
Actually, I spent a week during my last school-trip, where I got to pass 60 hours awake and then sleeping just 5 hours or so... I smoked everything and I substituted water with Absinthe for seven days in a row.
Guess what? I looked like an emaciated 15-yrs-old stoner...
