"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.

Did you ever have an experience where you went to a singles mixer or maybe not just a singles event, but a place known for singles...but it wound up being a cattle call...a cavalcade of obese women?

I went to one event, no joke. The organizer wanted to do some icebreaker game. She numbered the seats around the long table that was reserved at the restaurant. She gave me a #, and I went to go find my seat assigned to that #. I must have walked past it 3 times before I discovered it was sandwiched in between to LARGE women. They were so fat, they kind of hid the bar stool in between them. So I got stuck sitting between probably the fattest women there. lol

The host was like "Look at you, sittin' between da ladies!"

Anyways, any experiences to share?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

When dealing with events for singles unless you live in eastern europe (and even there not big cities) get ready to deal with fat or age...no other reason for a woman to attend such events.

Regarding speed dating its funny how there is no event 45+ cause they cant find enough men to join.
Guess when your test and libido are not that high and what you get offered are fat oldies, you feel like passing even if the ratio is at your favour.

Yeah, I see this sometimes...actually no matter what age where the women outnumber the men. Some of the hosts are announce, "Hey, we need to get more of you men out here!"
 

"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.

Don't waste times at singles events. Your chances are much higher one in one with organic cold approaches.
