"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.

hi, i am a freshman in college. so far i am doing pretty terrible at school. i am flunking a lot of my courses right now. I promised myself that from now on i will not be lazy. but the problem is that my semester is almost over, and i dont have much chances to pass it right now. my major is psychology or business. But my career goal seems to be fading away.

so i want to advice you guys that is it too late to catching starting from the upcoming summer school? if so, will i have to sacrifice a lot of time of my own such as suceeding on hb, and my part-time job? any advice from on you experience or smart men.

thanks, i really appreciated to give me some pointers.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but how in the he11 do you flunk out of college. The higher education system is so dumbed down, they are practically handing out degrees.

Seek out help from your professors; this works wonders!

Stop the excessive partying. Stop drinking on week nights.

Go to your classes, do your hw, ask your professors for help, and if you need a tutor, find someone in your class who can help you, or ask the prof to direct your to an older student.

What the hell are you talking about? Have you been to college?

Anyways, read your textbooks and do all the assigned reading. Go to all the study sessions or review sessions or tutoring. Do the homework and find old exams and study them. Don't drink or get high when you have a test in the upcoming 2 weeks. Go to class.

"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.

Are you asking if you'll have less free time over the "summer" if you go to class during the summer semester? The answer to that one is a no-brainer. However, it looks like it's going to be necessary. What you need to do is look at how you're living your life right now - obviously it's not working out too well for you. If you don't change what you're doing now, then all that will happen is you'll make another post just like this one come the end of the summer semester.

By the way, I'd advise you to drop the classes you're failing. A "W" doesn't go against your GPA - an "F" you'll have to make several "A's" to recover from.
