"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.

I am in Paris for just a few days - tonight Friday is my only night alone. Where is an American guy (27) most likely to pick up a girl in Paris? I've had a couple french gfs before but they spoke English and we met in other countries. I have no idea how to go about picking up a French girl on their own territory. It doesn't seem like clubs are a good idea (but maybe so, which one?)

it seems like people mainly hang out at brasseries at night, but they are with their friends and speaking french. I don't speak French and I feel a little weird as a single American butting in on a convo in French.

Girls are gorgeous here, just don't know where to pick up a girl as an American alone in town!
 

"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.

Well, during the day you can act on the street like the lost tourist. ´Madam, excuze moi, you can you tell me where the Eiffeltower is´. When she speaks English keep her talking. When the conversation goes well and if you have the guts ask where you can have a drink in the evening and invite her!

Almost impossible to SNL a local chick when you're on vacation and don't speak the language unless you have the looks and charm of a young Hugh Grant.

Canada, eh?
Ha, speaking the local language increases your chances ten fold! Other than this, you are stuck with somebody who speaks english well and enjoys the cultural exchange. Like others say, just play the tourist card and go where the locals are and you can eventually pick somebody up or the most likely scenario they will pick you up ; ) P.S. in Spanish-speaking countries I ve picked up women on the street, in supermarkets, etc. By night you can shore some hookers as well, but the chances of getting freebies is not that high ( if you are into this kinda thing). If you meet a woman who is showing interest - just ask for sex straight up and go on an instant date. Also it is worth to have a local sim card to set up dates! In Europe it is sometimes worth to go to the country side and get aways from big cities to get laid with locals.
