I will have a listen to thisYou need to resurrect this thing man. I was listening to DJ Snake earlier when skipping rope - not trance but DJ Snake is awesome.
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.

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.
Trance is kinda generic and boring now. Nothing like what oldskool 90s trance was.I been raving for a long ass time.. It went hand and hand with the nightlife.. Trance always has its place in my playlist and I listened to some good amount of trance when I first started getting heavy into bodybuilding, (Zyzz era)
but, in all honesty, nothing gets me going more than some hard rock/metal. Sht like Alice in Chains, Slipknot, Motley Crue, Type O Negative, CKY, Motorhead, etc

I have a lot of that on my gym playlist, it is basically a bunch of metal and dance music. I love Type O Negative; 'slow, deep and hard' is basically the ultimate rage album for guys ****ed over by women.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
