"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.

Thats a trick question. If you don't act like a regular tourist, and follow the cultural rules you'll be fine. However if you're loud and obnoxious and wear shorts when going to cultural events (i.e. churches, museums, visiting the pope) Or refuse to even try to speak the native language (even if its just to ask if they speak english) then you'll look like a total tool.

Best way to think of it this way, if you act properly it would be like a DJ in a club full of HB10's. If you are loud, rude and obnoxious, you're nothing more than a AFC in a club full of HB10's.

I've been over there 4 times in the last 6 months. To England twice and to Great Britain twice. I mean.... it's pretty much the same dude. I went to France as well, but I know French so it wasn't that big of a difference.

Anywhere you'd want to go in europe, you'll be "welcomed". Just don't look like a tourist jackass. No cameras hanging off your neck, no fanny packs, no overtly "Hay guyz i'm american!" items/clothing on you, be friendly, and people will be friendly to you. I've been to five european countries (six if you count Crete which is a totally different experience from Athens), and except for one asshat desk guy at a hotel in Rome, I didn't have any bad encounters.

btw I've been to Paris, Florence, Rome, Athens, Crete, Amsterdam and Edinburgh.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

In Germany and France, me and my friends were pretty much your typical retarded Americans. But literally, anytime we went out to bars, we had the whole bar become our entourage...they LOVED us, probably because we were so dim witted and foreign (we went to not major cities where English isnt so common).
