"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.

Maybe two depending on how you look at it. The first is not really a date, we're both bringing along friends to see a movie and I'm not worried at all.

The second one is uncharted territory; a woman much older than me (she's 30, I'm 20). We met at a jam band concert not too far back and we're hanging out this weekend.

Only problem; I'm a virgin. I think this one could go somewhere (there's a lot of game-playing and ball-busting on both sides) and I don't want to kill all of the tension by having to say "oh, by the way, I've never done this before" right before I start.

I'm obviously not going to be able to fake like I'm experienced, so how do I approach it without looking like some sort of wuss?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Stop worrying about, and just go for it.

No one is expected to be good at something the first time they do it. And odds are, she's had some really bad sex with guys who have done it many times, and still suck.

Don't mention any of this to her, she doesn't need to know. It's not nearly as complicated as you think.

update

Well, the first one flaked...her mom was in town or something. I'm going to set up one more outing with her (and bust on her like mad for being a flake) but if I get ditched again I'm not going to waste my time.

#2 was the one I was asking about anyway...I think that one'll go very well.
