I have an account, but I don't pay or anything. I guess if you pay you can actually email/contact them. Anyway, I'm really thinking about doing it because dang there are some hotties on there. More than you would find on some trashy "free" site.
"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.
Anyone ever tried match.com?

"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.

I've actually been using Match.com.
It's somewhat okay, and somewhat a scam. A lot of the "better" looking women on there are either women with expired profiles, don't have a subscription or their standards are WAY too high.
I guess it all depends. I know people that swear by it. Others that condemn it.

Never tried match but did a brief stint on OKCupid. It wasn't the greatest because I live in a fairly small city and was not interested in going far and I was very picky for age/looks/lifestyle, as in I wanted skinny or fit girls within 3 years of my age that were educated and didn't smoke or do drugs or look punk/goth. This greatly reduced my selection, but I did meet about 10 women on there, 5 of whom I have met in person so far. The in-person ones all went really well ending with at least make outs, but I've put that site on the back burner since meeting some new people in real life that I'm more interested in.
I think that's one of the better sites because it's entirely free and from personal experience and what I've heard from others that I know who have used it, it seems to have a lower percentage of crazies than most online dating sites. In fact if you're sick of the bar/club scene, I found it rather refreshing. Also so far I have not encountered a single bot/prostitute/spammer on there.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
