"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.

"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.

For guys suffering from AFC--"No More Mr. Nice Guy", by Dr. Robert Glover

"The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison: God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison." A biography of the Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Flat out, Larry is pimp.

"The Magic of Thinking Big" by David Schwartz

"Unlimited Power" by Anthony Robbins

"How To Live The James Bond Lifestyle" by Paul Karazi

"Th Dirt: The story of Motley Cru" by Neil Strauss
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Head on down to your local library and read biographies on people.

Consider getting a subscription to Investors Business Daily.

They have a section called "Leaders and Success."

Each day they profile a leader of some sort, and all the crap they went through to get there.

If you read it every day, you'll get a lot of inspiration. Takes only 5-10 minutes.
