"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.

I left a short message but she said her full name so I looked her up on facebook and we have 4 mutual friends, all female and one is my cousin. I don't think I should bring it up in case she thinks it is creepy or something but at the same time all these girls could tell her how great I am. At this point I'm planning on keeping this in my back pocket for a while, what do you think?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Back pocket, for sure!

EDIT: I wanna add something to this.

but at the same time all these girls could tell her how great I am.
I once thought this was a good idea. I had 2 friends that knew a girl I was trying to hook up with and I had them mention me to her. Turns out, even when girls/women think they are helping, they are likely saying some things that could hurt your chances. Let her find out about you herself. Don't let other peoples opinions of you determine her own, even if in theory they are good opinions.

Correct.

You don't want other girls talking about you. They'll say something stupid, or they'll build you up as some "nice guy".

Don't get other girls involved. In romance and in life, keep as many things under your control as possible. You dictate this girls' opinion of you....not others.
