"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.
So Many Ways

I don't know any "DJ"s in real life other than the ones that spin records so I have to go with naturals.

"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 actually makes sense. If you do something naturally, do you ever need to take a moment to dissect exactly HOW you do it? Probably not because you already do it well. And if you haven't had a need to analyze what you do, how could you effectively teach someone else how to do it? That's probably why people posted that they would watch a natural and learn, the natural could not teach them point by point how to do what they do.
DJs who've learned the hard way can teach you what to do and also give you examples of how not to do things based on personal experience. Plus, when you watch them, you know what to look for because they have already explained their technique.
I have nothing against 'naturals' what so ever. I just have not yet run into a true natural that has had an urge to analyze their talent.
Then i think you could pretty much handle anything with class.
