"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.

It's like a pissed off motivation. I know I didn't handle the phone call well. It was like this:

Her: *bullshiz excuse.* "Maybe some other time"
Me: "Yeah, maybe next week... actually, nevermind. I'll talk to you some other time."

But, I ended up going through the phone list and finding someone else to go to out with, then went out and saw a live band play and met a bunch of new people. Turned out better than if the plans went through.
 

"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.

Haha, motived! I love it. Good for you... that's a pretty positive thing to turn out of a flake.

LOL, so spelling isn't one of my strong suits.

I've done the same thing in the past to when it's happened. It's just like, "B!tch, I'll show you" type of deal even though they'll never know. haha It's also 100x better than sitting at home going, "This sucks. Why did this happen"
