"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.

Hey guys,

I've read and been told that facebook and text msg are a big no no while getting with girls but then again, I see great potential. Especially with facebook. If you see your friend's photos with hb7 and hb8's wouldn't you wanna "add friend" and try to get then to hang out with you? It says it all right there, where they are from, name, around what age they are, and etc.

If they send you a msg, asking "do I know you?" there's your opening right there! Just reply with a C+F response and thats it!

Any thoughts?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Creepy much? Don't add people unless you have met them in person. You will look like a creeper, trust me, don't do this.

Who the heck said online pickup is a big no-no? As long as you dont limit yourself to only looking for girls online, its cool. The girls are real and when they arrive at your house you wont be having cyber sex with them.
I've found that its always good to be upfront on facebook. Something like "I was searching for someone when I found you and I like that you (something about her) so I just had to meet you"
Or if you want to be c&f you can say "You were the girl that was molesting me at a party last weekend" . Doesn't matter if its not true.

If you're gonna mack on Facebook, you need to make sure you are doing two things.

(A) Facebook can't be your main avenue for picking up chicks. You have to be cold approaching or gaming chicks through your social circle. Facebook gaming is something you do on the side. It's just too hard to build the necessary confidence and social skills through strictly meeting chicks online.

(B) Once you've got your game tight in other areas, then you can hit up Facebook. When I see a chick that catches my eye on Facebook, I will send her a creative/funny message - something that pertains to an interest of hers or something she has written in her profile. The first message is key. You've really gotta come off as confident and funny or confident and charming.

You also have to make sure your pictures are good. If you're an ugly looking dude, then I don't think you're gonna have much luck with this. You should find one really good pic of yourself, put it as your main one and then restrict your profile so only your friends can see all the pictures listed of you. This way, she is only judging the really hot picture of you, because she can't see all of your tagged photos.

Another really good way of meeting chicks on Facebook is if you're a college graduate and living in a new city. Search for chicks who went to your college and who are living in your current city. That is a perfect reason to message her. Say something funny/confident/charming to her, then make a reference to your school. When she responds, tell her you need to meet up with some alumni, and you'd like to start by meeting up with her.

Also, when a chick who is listed as single has her profile open (unlocked for the public to see), that is usually a pretty good sign that she is looking for a boyfriend or some male attention, at worst. Either that, or she is very bad with technology and doesn't know how to secure her profile.

Also, text messaging is fine. I text with girls all the time and will continue to do it despite others trying to urge me to stop. It's OK to text a chick and ask her what her plans are for the evening, for example if you're going out drinking with some friends and looking to meet up with her or if you're looking for some people to hang out with on a weekend night. Text away in those kinds of situations.

It isn't, however, OK to text a chick and ask her out on a date. It also isn't OK to text a chick who you are trying to game to have "small talk". Never text with girls like you're having an Instant Message conversation on AIM. Not only will that cause your phone bill to skyrocket, but it will destroy any IL she might have in you.

Texting can be a very powerful tool to raise IL if you know how to use it right. Not texting all together would be a pretty dumb move, IMO.
 

"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.
