"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.

Aw man I just got bested by a chick.

There's a girl from work I have been chatting to on the work IM. We were teasing and playing around,the other day I said I looked younger than her, we had a little banter back and forth then I said she looked ropey. I was playing, she don't look ropey but she got all uptight about it. I played it real cool, not apologising even when she said I had hurt her feelings. I left her hanging about it but today I had to talk to her about some work stuff. Heres how it went:

Me
So you still sulking?

Her
U said I am ROPEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Me
I'll take that as a yes then, any chance ya gonna help me out with sommit

Her
Depends what it is Mr thehoop..!

Me
Blah blah, work stuff

Her
Blah blah more work stuff….Seriously ROPEY?? Heartbroken!

Me
im surprised my opinion has any baring whatsoever

Her
It doesn't actually....its something I have never been called and hope to to be called again....Is that really what u think?

Me
What do you think, am I really that mean?

Her
Well I didnt think so but now am nt sure

Me
In that case I'll leave ya guessing, much more fun for me.

Her
Fine...Im hurt though!

Me
Neh not buying it. I think ya more thick skinned than that.

Me
Im signing off in a min but if I have genuinely hurt ya feelings, I didnt mean it and I apologise.

Her
Hahaha I knew I could get u..! Have a good weekend mr thehoop x

Me
I knew I should have trusted my better judgement, ok you win that one. Have a good weekend.

Her
;)


I took it as far as I wanted to but given that it was a work colleague I started to get a little cautious of the fact that I was playing with fire if I had actually upset her. Cos its near the end of the day and a weekend I thought best clear it up if she really is hurt so I apologised (purely cos its a work thing otherwise I would have left her hanging).

Now I wouldnt suggest doing this sort of thing at work cos women will always have the upper hand in the work place but its a good example of a power play. I lost this one but now I know I can have a little banter with her its cool. I won't push it too far cos its work but it goes to show that women will play power games. This one was fun so I dont mind loosing and I dont think it did any harm to let her win this one.
 

"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.

Somewhere there's a girl online posting this exact same exchange on a chick-forum bragging how she out-gamed a guy.

Feather in her cap, not yours.

All that said, she sounds fun. Girls with good game are a hoot.

Yeah that's true as long and you don't get feelings.for that type of girl. Other than that they make your game more fun.
