"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.

This is a challenge to myself but feel free to join in if you want and share your own experiences and results.

I read all this stuff about, you shouldn't be afraid to approach girls and being rejected isn't half as bad as you make it out to be, however, i still find myself unable to approach. I always get nervous and so on.

So i decided to make this challenge for myself so that i would finally be able to overcome this fear once and for all.

The challenge itself is that i have to approach girls with the intention of being rejected. The challenge will be over after i have been rejected by 10 girls.

Hopefully by doing this i will learn that being rejected isn't as big a deal as you make it out to be and it is infact just another experience you can share with your mates and laugh about.

Also because i am after rejections, i will have no concern over saying stupid things and therefore be able to say whatever comes to mind without ever asking myself 'should i ask her that' or 'how will she react if i say that'. My hope is that eventually i'll be able to start convos without to much thought of what to say, as i will just know.

I ain't decide whether i should set myself a time limit yet but at the moment, i'm just gonna have a laugh completing this challenge.:D

"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.

This is being field tested here. Tell them, "You're pretty." You'll be rejected.

Its like a wall, push through it a couple times, then it will fall permanently (if that made sense). You dont need a slick pickup line, go in with whats on the top of your head. The key is to be calm, smooth, and charming.

"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.
