As i said last time. Too long lines 
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.
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.
Im the PU God. I can give You one line shot 'Would You give me Your number?'. Works for 4 girls out of 10.Originally posted by The_Shezzler
10 Pages of dialogue? My name isnt Pook.
If you can put a good, field tested tip into 3 short lines then you surely are a PU God.
The reason i put the convo in was to to give an idea of how the piece of dialogue should be implemented into a conversation (ie Pick up).
Your right, every conversation IS different, but the principles of pick-up remain the same - this little connection/C+F piece can be entiwined into any conversation, thats why i posted it.
Whos the joke now? You tell me sweetie (backturn)
Sarge On...

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.
I know it's humorous, but it still sets a bad frame. The frame here is that you have to impress girls by remembering lots of stuff about them to compensate for your lack of value. The girl will probably laugh, but still, you will lose value in her eyes.Me: Its like, You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you, because
eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite flower?" And you
murmur to yourself: "Sh1t, I wasn't listening...Self-raising?"
