"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.

just wondering what you guys do? usually i play it like this:

just recently it went this way, don't ask why we spoke like this (long story) but it was joking around:

me: if we gonna be agents we need to exchange numbers.

her: haha yes yes, <number> is moi

me: awesome, i'm <number>

me: now we can communicate on the field.

her: haha yes, one step closer :p



we actually spoke online and she msg me telling me she was moving to the state i'm in, in a few weeks. so i suggest we hang out together when she does and she said sure!

anyway, was i meant to just get her number? or do you guys think that's fine?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You are obviously overthinking this stuff in a HUGE way. Why the hell WOULDN'T you give her your number? Are you against her possibly calling you asking you to hang out or something?

Exactly what I'm thinking. You're already stressing over things THIS early in the stage.
 

"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.

Personally I don't tend to give out my number if i'm getting a girl's just so they can't really screen the first call basically from club/bar situations.

However I have to give you mad props on your agent line and feel that using a witty line like that definitely warrants it
