"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.

Following Pook's instructions, I have tried to minimize the amount of flirting and kino that I do with girls early on. Supposedly a real DJ should be so inherently sexual that those things are overkill. (Also, flirting is a tad bit girly and indirect.)

So here's the quick question: If I'm talking to a girl and before too long, she brings up her boyfriend (who lives in a different city), does that mean I'm doing a good job? As I said, I usually don't flirt much or do kino, so the fact that she's considering me a threat/prospect must be a good thing!

or does that just happen to every guy who "approaches," loser or otherwise?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

yeah, I think I read that one -- and also i've read Pook's discourse on W0manese.

But I'm not even really talking about whether she's interested in me or whether she's trying to reject me. I just think it's funny for them to mention their boyfriends when I'm just talking to them, and not even overtly hitting on them.

of course, if they are interested in me, for whatever reason, then they can forget it. I don't deal with other guys' girlfriends. If you do that, you're just asking for either a hor or a girl who will waste your time.
