"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.

So I have read you should always hold eye contact longer than the girl when you are looking at her, what about when it just gets kind of weird and awkward, should I just keep looking or what? What are switching from one eye to another until she lets up.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Only when you put on a stiff-face. With the perfect smile, strong eye-contacting can never go wrong.

Here are a couple fair guidelines :

When you are talking look her in the eyes, when it's her turn to talk look away then back into her eyes untill it's your turn again.

OR

Hold eye contact untill she looks away then give her a 'breath' from your eye contact untill she locks eyes with you again.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I have a hard time looking away. I tend to maintain eye contact of EVERYONE I am speaking to. I have to conciously remember to look away occasionally.

One time, this woman stopped by when I was still with my ex, to discuss this extra-curricular program that she was doing with little kids. She was strangely mezmerizing and attractive, so I maintained eye contact. After a couple minutes of this, she could barely function! Later, my ex mentioned the situation in a jealous tone of voice. I know that I wasn't scaring this woman because to this day when we run into each other, we talk like we are old friends.

Since then I have read that one should look away when talking or having job interviews, etc., because it can be intimidating otherwise.
