"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.

Do you guys think this approach will work?

Well... there's this girl named Amanda who I like who's in band. Right now, I know we already have 2 things in common, we both do track and we both do band. I'm planning to approach her with this:
Me: Hey, Amanda, I saw you during track yesterday. What event do you do?
From there, she'd probably say the event, and I'm not sure what would happen from there. I'm also thinking about implementing a story up in there:
You know yesterday, right when it was raining like crazy during lunch? Me and my friends saw the funniest sh*t. Tell me why it was raining like hell and there were a bunch of tards' going outside and getting themselves soaked? It was so f*cking hilarious. Add to the fact that it was storming too and you can see those people aren't very smart. The whole time I was thinking, "What are these tards doing?"
Question, in this situation, how could I implement this story?
 

"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.

Yeah, but it's the only TRUE story I could think of. But tell me, what makes it lame?

There are many girls in band. This is a different girl. Think outside the box. Besides it's bad to have oneitis.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

That comment's kind of an understatement.

So some kids went outside when it was raining and got wet... okay... very "hilarious" and interesting.

It is hilarious if only for the fact that those kids were dumb enough to go out into a rain storm when it's thundering. It's hilarious because the kids were idiots.

Sorry man, the way you plan to tell it it is most definitely not hilarious at all. If you say that, man, you are going to sound SO incredibly lame it would probably make the 6 o'clock news. I mean come on man, you saw the "funniest shyt" -- so far so good -- and what was it? Kids going out in the rain and getting soaked! *Groan* That is so fkkin lame words cannot describe it. The big deal is not that you came up with a lame story -- people make mistakes -- but it's amazing that you are actually trying to defend it.

If you get a chick laughing at that, she's either (a) retarded (b) polite or (c) crazy about you.
