"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Okay so I realized my two big pitfalls in everyday conversation is humor and trying to tell a story.

I want to read humor books so I can learn the art of it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The magic bullet(by Love Systems) recommended these:


Humor Theory: Formula of Laughter by Igor Krichtafovitch
o The Naked Jape by Jimmy Carr
o True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor by David Mamet
o Three Uses of the Knife by David Mamet
o Comedian (movie) by Jerry Seinfeld
Make


Can you guys add anything else that would help me learn the basics of humor theory? I like Jerry seinfeld's type of humor(thats what I can relate myself to at least). I ran into this book on amazon.com,

Feedback?

Thanks.
 

"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.
