"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 all do it at all? A lot of my friends will drink at parties, and then drive immediately afterwards. I never was the greatest driver, and I just don’t think I could do that, honestly. I’d end up wrecking and ending my life. I mean, are any of you guys capable of actually doing this?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I was driving while drunk while in USA, repeatedly. Never got caught. Then in Russia I was driving drunk also repeatedly for about 6 years, then I got caught and got 1.5 year suspension plus a fine, which wasn't much, like 500 bucks or something. Now if I do it again, it is going to be criminal, not only license suspencion, but prison time, up to 3 years, because I'm a repeat offender. Don't get a DUI conviction, because it's not cool, especially in USA, it's a big nasty mark on my permanent record. Plus there is a chance you could kill someone and get a real prison sentance. Drunks are lucky bastards, usually don't get injured when wrecking, but someone always dies because of a drunk. Make it a rule for yourself to get a taxi to and from party.

I don't drive if I am buzzed as that would indicate my driving is altered and not safe. I air on the side of caution. Best to take Uber and not endanger people's lives.
Also, watch out for driving when sleepy. That is just as dangerous.

Nope. Uber.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My mom’s co-worker lost her 4yr old son when a drunk driver veered off the road and onto her front lawn where her son was playing. Died two days later in hospital. Anyone ever go to the funeral of a child killed by a drunk driver?

Taxi, public transit, Uber, designated driver, your two feet and a heartbeat - there is zero reason to choose to drive drunk, and it’s certainly not anything to brag about.

I'm a safe drunk driver. Never been in an accident with another person before while drunk.
 

"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.

I used to do it all the time, but that was when I was going to a bar that was a block and a half from my house. It was safer to drive drunk than to walk home because it was a bad neighbourhood.

If you get down to the one eye/white line trick, you’re so far gone you shouldn’t be behind the wheel…

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Been hit head on by a drunk driver, who then tried to run. My vehicle was so badly damaged, the place it was towed to assumed it was a fatal accident. Luckily, I only had minor injuries.

If you drive drunk, to me, you are one of the most worthless people in the world. Especially in this day with Uber, Lyft, friends, taxis, public transit, walking, ect.

Yeah, I feel you. I had actually never used Uber before this weekend but it’s very quality
 

"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.
