"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.

Went out sarging for about 5 hours today

I started off bad, the first 3 hours were just blow outs and blowouts and blowouts... i realized i was looking for reactions and wasn't getting the reactions that i wanted. Then my friend told me... "Dude, they're people too, just be authentic with them. Say what's on your mind."
I'm pretty sure i got the right message from that because afterwards i started getting much better reactions. Went on a few "mini-dates" which consisted of walking around with girls that we met, holding their hands and shopping with them, embracing them etc.
Also i learned that to build my "state" it helps to make friends in the environment. So i came out of my pick-up mode and started just being friendly to people that passed by, having quirky conversations, etc.
In the end i ended up making friends in this place we were (out of town) And some girls remembered us from before, and would come up to talk with us again while we were relaxing and taking a break from sarging. The day started off bad, but then i ended up getting into it and had an overall great time.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
