"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.

Today's tip, about 6 phone numbers in 5 minutes is a good tip, but it's 5 years old.

Allen, as much as I like reading those emails, I would like to see recent material be placed in them, successes and tips from the CURRENT users of SS.com, not from people that his last post was in '02.

Leave older posts to the bible, because I'm sure if you took a look around (and I know you do), you will find some stuff worthy of at least a Tip of the Day.
 

"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.

I've been reading "tip of the day" for the last couple of weeks now. All but one tip has been absolutely dreadful with no real useful information. It's usually either somebody boasting about their achievement (and most of the time it sounds like pure BS), or some vague advice that doesn't offer anything useful. I can't see these "tips" being helpful to anyone because the information is so basic that unless you are some sort of isolated hermit who has no contact with the rest of humanity and has zero social skills, common sense will see you through anyway.

For real advice, it's probably better to read messages by posters on this forum.

This tip was actually NOT that great of a tip.

Girls give out there #'s like it's no big deal. Just because you got her number doesn't mean anything.

If you don't have any rapport with the girl then the number doesn't really do any miracles for you.

The other day, one of my girl-friends had a BUNCH LOAD of guys calling her. Did she want to talk to them?

HEEEEELLLL NO! She didn't even pick up.

They just want the attention and the boost of confidence.

Again, a phone number doesn't mean much without having a real EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with the girl first.
