"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.

Im at a shopping centre. I seen this HB 9, I then proceeded to approach her from the side.

I said "hello"

Then

"Hello, hello" (at this point I was nervous and she seen my nervous body language).

I turned and I said:

"I just saw you and wanted to say you look gorgeous" (very weak)

She said "sorry I'm not interested".

I'm not bothered, their is still work to do to calm myself and relax.

It can be nerve wrecking as you all know.

This was disappointing as the other day:

I was out and needed to get rid of stuff, went somewhere, waited. I told very confidentially and calmly an hb9 that the other people were before her and she couldn't just drop her stuff, that she had to wait like the others(as i too needed to drop my stuff) .

Unfortunately in that situation, an older man said he would take her stuff and drop it off.

"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.

You shouldn’t care about it. A girl I was seeing showed me her likes and messages on a dating app. It’s nothing personal they just have all that choice and pick someone for whatever reason. You just have to maximize your chances. This situation seems like it influenced you to the point you needed to make this post.
care less, maximize your chances.

Trying to pickup an attractive women you don't know in a location that is not meant for pickups is a waste of time. I treat interactions with all attractive strange women as an opportunity to just be nice and be social.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You went direct and it may not be the best.

As far as nervousness the old advice was to imagine her taking a big stink she/it on the toilet.. So what if she looks good

There is a lot of debate on direct vs. indirect. I tend to go more indirect and subtle. Both direct and indirect have benefits and drawbacks.

Very true, believe it or not attractive woman take dumps and get **** stains on their underwear. Imagine you saw a very attractive woman that makes you nervous. How would you feel about her if she was at gym or whatever with a **** stain near her ass? She would go from goddess to normal human very quickly.
When I first meet an attractive girl. I really don't think about this sort of stuff. However, I am told some people find this sort of stuff highly erotic. Oh well, you be you, I guess.
