"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 went out to a shopping mall after work today, I was a little tired from work , but decided to get off my a$$ and run around the local strip mall.

After a few stores with no interesting women I started feeling awkward and tired , it seemed like the farther I made it down the strip the more uncomfortable I felt in my own skin.

I was a little upset that I didn't approach anyone , but I cant figure out if my confidence started to drop because of me feeling weak, and that reflecting on my self image , or if I just felt so out of place that it drained all of my energy.

This was also the first time I wandered the area with the sole purpose of browsing the ladies in a long time.

Ive been here a while and id like to think Ive been enlightened quite a bit , but ive never been able to see any solid results from myself yet , I can give advice out the a$$ , but i haven't helped myself a whole lot lol
 

"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.

ive been in that situation. you're out at the mall trying to approach girls and you just can't get yourself to do it. the longer it takes, the more shi tty you feel. It feels like everyone else is watching you and knows exactly why you're there and what you're up to. LOL, but the reality of the situation is NO ONE cares. it's all in your head.

approaching women in public is an incredibly hard thing to do. most guys on here talk like its no big deal but the reality of the situation is it takes huge balls to even try it, let alone keep it up consistently and get good at it.

I've found that once i've been shot down, i.e. rejected, by about 10 girls i suddenly start to feel relaxed and calm. Try this. Go out to the mall and consider the first 10 girls you talk to as practice. After a while the fear of rejection goes away because you've experienced it and realized that it doesn't kill you. It may sting for a minute of two but after that it goes away.

I call it being "in the zone". Its the same type of feeling you have while you're walking around your apartment by yourself. You're relaxed, comfortable, your body language is all very calm and smooth. You can have this same type of feeling out in public. Again, all you gotta do is warm up first, i.e. get rejected a-lot at first lol. good luck dude.

The game is physically draining. It can also require a lot of walking. Even night game is draining whether it's bar hopping or dancing.

Plus day or night, pproaching and gaming can be mentally taxing.

You do as much as you can and then call it a day or night, as applicable.

Old codgers like me require a "disco nap" before going out lol.

"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.
