"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 have a problem. I have heard that before you approach a women, you should look for things that would indicate that they are interested (like looking my way to where I should accidently see them looking at me, or even when I look their way they usually don't glance in my direction, I have trouble locking glances with women, also for example a couple of time attractive women have came up to my friend who they know but they wouldn't introduce them selves to me).

I have read that if a woman is interested in you then she will display the signals before you approach and these signal should be there. I am not sure what is causing me not to get these. I mean I am 6'3", I have picture on my profile, so I am not a bad looking guy, I dress nice (mainly express), walk upright with my head up. So what gives? Can anyone help me out here?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Sarge On...
And I add that you should be on the offensive and stop waiting to react on what she does.

ok... I guess that about sums it up. that makes sense, i guess that when you try to look for indicators of interest then you are just looking for appoval from the woman.

I guess it is about time to get a refund for conversation king. that is where I read about the idea in the first place.

conversation king is written by a woman =P
 

"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.

Problem is,as mentioned already,that you are too passive.You should do the first stare,you should approach,and you should introduce yourself to them.Always think as a hunter.
