"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.

ok, I know that when you've just met someone it's not advisable to buy flowers, gifts etc... Well, I've been seeing this girl for a month now, intimately for couple of weeks. I haven't got her anything yet, it's been quite even, I've paid for couple dates, she's paid for a couple. I fixed her light switch she cooked for me twice

Xmas is coming up and she's telling me she has something for me tonight as she's treating me sushi, she said it's a xmas present. I feel like I getting something for her in return.

I know I shouldn't ask too much questions and just go with it but what do you guys think?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

It would be weird not to get her something. She sounds like a nice girl. I would go with something small and cuetsy that shows more creativity than dollar value.

Stay away from anything expensive. I say under $50, ideally around $30-40.

Sushi ain't cheap.

You're right about 1 thing, it wasn't cheap. Cost £95 for the meal for two, that's about $150. I want to get her something, this is what I am quite bad at. Getting presents with thoughts and creativity.

You really have to use discression when getting new women a gift. Last year, I was with a woman whom I was seeing for two weeks. I got her a $10 gift. This year I'm with someone I've been seeing for three months. I'm spending no more than $40-$50 on her.

One month isn't very long. I'd put a gift range somewhere between $20-$30 on her. Your gift isn't meant to impress, it's meant to show you're thinking of her this holiday season.

No, that's $150/2 = $75.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
