"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.

How to have a normal conversation with people? You just talk with the objective if finding common ground, build familiarity, and get to know them. For example, ask how they know each other, build on whatever comes up, share stories, joke around, and find similar interests. If the conversation becomes more personal and flirtatious, things can progress from there.

As with everything, life is too short, and you cannot seduce everyone. If the women are open to you and there's mutual interest, things can progress naturally. If not, move on.
dude I gave you the scenario
And desrcribed the 2 women.
It’s 12am when you approach:
How exactly do you go about picking them up and what exactly do you say?
Do you ask them what their favorite colour is or what..:rolleyes:
Have a “just have a normal conversation” isn’t much of an answer. What does “normal” convo with 2 hot b1tches on a Saturday night at a bar at 12am look like for you.. in detail pls.

"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.

You are trying to force me into giving you a scripted routine, which is exactly what I’m critiquing you for.

Maybe slow down and realize that not every interaction needs to follow a predetermined sequence. Read the situation, use your social skills, and adapt accordingly.

no. I am not actually.
Btw. How many girls would you estimate you’ve picked up from bars and clubs.? Do you have any credentials ..? Serious question,
Why do you think you can give advice to me?

Look, you asked how I’d approach the situation, and I’ve explained my approach. You’re free to disagree with it. However, you’re overcomplicating a social interaction, and there is enough evidence here to suggest that your social skills could use some work.

I appreciate your concern, but I can handle it.
Thanks for sharing. I don’t want to talk about it anymore with you now.
 

"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.
