"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.

i was just wondering if true DJs go to dating events. I am contemplating going to one that starts up pretty soon. It's very easy to talk to chics at these events. I always get a few numbers when I go - the chicks aren't that hot but sometimes you'll get lucky - let me know your opinion.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

No, but the practice couldn't hurt. Wouldn't reccomend getting numbers from women who are serious about speed dating :p

Umm....sharks are one of the most fear predators of the ocean/sea because of their excellent hunting abilities. They can seek out prey and sense a tiny blood drop in the water over 1 mile away. A great white shark can split you in half before you even know what hit you.

If someone dropped a bunch of injured seals in a certain spot in the ocean and a shark came and took advantage, would that make the shark any less of a "real shark"?

Why would a DJ going to a speed dating convention make him any less of a "real DJ"? The state of being a DJ is independent of the situation. It is a thought process, a state of mind, a way of life which both fulfills him and makes him more attractive to women.

A DJ is a DJ period. Going to a speed dating convention does not make him any "less" of a DJ.

Good analogy, but the bait is still injured seals :)
