"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.

Alright the fact is you need to say the right thing in the right situation to start a conversation with someone. What do you do?

I tried "Do I have a milk Mustache?" when at the mall and girls are walking the other way.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Cold approaches = "Hi do you want to ****?"

Or do I remember wrong.

If you're approaching people you haven't met then a "hi" usually works good.

You can just say; "Hi." "Hows it going?" If you were abserving your target.. You may of noticed something about her. Her clothes, jewerly, shoes, hair, sun glasses, bag, dog, book or whatever. If you like something about her or her item, compliment her on it. Or if your curious, ask her about it.

Though, a good way to avoid being rejected is to make eye contact first. If you look in her eyes and read the signs you will know whether you should approach her or not.
 

"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.

We all know that "how's it going" is fine to open with, but that's not actually an opener because you have to immediately follow with something else or all she's going to do is say "I'm fine" and look at you waiting for you to say something more. I don't know how it is in other English-speaking countries, but in the U.S. when people say "how's it going", they don't mean that literally, it's just a formality. Just like people are programmed to say "fine" in reply if they don't know you, even if they find out their mom just died. So this isn't even real conversation, it's just filler basically.

Remember one thing...She doesn't hear anything at first, she SEES...She doesn't want to understand you. She wants to FEEL you

That's why what you say is not important. But making her feel that you are equal value to her is what you will do. Repeat after me...."NO NEEDINESS"...then just go and say "Hi...I'm Ron".

That's awful. Why not just be a grownup and say "Hi." and make a comment/question about her, her clothes, or things going on around her.

How are you going to start a conversation built on the foundation of you having a milk mustache?

"So what's your story?" always worked great for me, because you're basically putting her in a position where she needs to qualify herself to you. Try it, it always creates a little curiosity in them, which is a good thing.

I'll give you one of the best advice for cold approaches...............................

LEARN HOW TO IMPROVISE...

canned lines and set openers I find are ridiculous. The vibe is awkward and feels forced.

Learn to be funny, and witty.

Then cold approached will no longer be a problem.
 

"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.

I find that the best is to have an observation. If she's wearing a T-shirt from a band you like etc. Sometimes she might be having a conversation that you happen to know a lot about.

I was once sitting next to these chicks discussing UFC. I have to give them credit, they did know a few things. But I've been watching it since before it became popular, so I butted in (politely) and answered some of the questions they were wondering.
