"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.

Well today was the last day of school and that's why I decided to approach this Asian girl I wanted to talk to. So I open the set saying "Hey" ask about her project blah blah blah, ask her a few questions and yeah. After that, I basically just talked about what I was gonna do for the weekend holding eye contact with her and such and she's nodding her head and sh*t.

Then when I start talking about how I know her friend, she eventually starts warming up smiling and such. When I asked how she knew that friend she told me they were both swimmers. Then I talked about how I liked girls who did sports because they weren't lazy. So the bus is almost to it's stop and I say "Can I call you?" and she's like "Um... I don't really pick up the phone that much" and that was that.

Then I high fived her told her I'd talk to her again if I saw her at graduation and she was like okay.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

One thing I've learned is to never ask the girl if you can call her. Instead, you should have said, "We should talk sometime. Let me have your number," or some variant thereof.

I agree with the other poster, you made the mistake of asking if you can have her #.

You should have asked her if she HAS a phone #. Just say to her "Do you have a #?"

You gave her an out and she took it.

The other thing I want to mention is that your conversation seemed boring. I almost fell asleep just reading the first paragraph. Why didn't you get to know her? Why didn't you make a few jokes?

You found out she's a swimmer, good then say something like "You know I think that in a triathlon they should put swimming last, That way there's no quiters."

Well you didn't have her fully attracted but your close was very weak. Women are so fickle that a weak close can sink something that might've developed. Like the other poster said never asking a girl "Can I call you.." just say "Hey you wan't me to call you..what's your number" or just ask for the number.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I command them. Yesterday my roommate and I met some people after rock climbing and invited them over to my place. We chatted up and smoked up, and I basically told the girl I was focusing on to give me her contact info. Works like a dream every time ;)

(after that, you're on your own bud. See how your game is)

No useful woman would have said "OK" in this situation. The only exception is if your game is good and they enjoy your company. You could have said "hey jie, my bus stops here let me have your number and I call you sometime" or some variance.

"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.

First...i would've spit out maybe 2 sentences then say "Let me get your number" or "What's your number"

Me personally, I can't sit there and bullshit around without going straight for the number

Dude try doing my favorite thing to do....

*hand her phone*
Give me your number.

The plus side is she'll put her name in there too... In case you forgot it within minutes of meeting her, or you never bothered to ask.

Another thing I do lol not so much on purpose.

Maybe its a cultural thing which we would never do here where I live, but i would NEVER EVER high five a girl! Having read that I would guess your age at 14-15. High five might be okay when u r playin pool with ur girl against another team or whatever other example there is. But high 5in a stranger, ... no no NO.

I agree. High fives are for when you win something, or burn someone.

High fiving a girl you just got rejected by? Awwwk-ward....

I am impressed at your tenacity man, you've really been working hard at this for awhile. Keep it up and by the time you're 21 you're going to be king of the nightlife.
 

"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.

SHE CAN FVCK HERSELF.

Then I high fived her told her I'd talk to her again if I saw her at graduation and she was like okay.
