"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

me: oooh you snake you

me: i like that.


Raise an eyebrow, something. Please. Anyway unless you got her number and some IOIs who cares?

it really actually matters. The one girl that I am hooking up with would always jokes about her ex-boyfriend. I'm also hooking up with her though.

If it is just to tell funny stories, than yes it is alright.
If she is just vomitting emotions on you and talking about all the bad sh!t that he did to her, than it is not a good thing.

kind of interesting that I have had both types hook up with me and made them my girlfriends.

Down South. Between the Y junction.
With you feeding the fire, how could she not rag on her ex.

anyway.... chicks that rag on there EX are just attention *****s that haven't gotten over or haven't moved on, or mildly pychologically unstable. Still decent potentials but not the best personalities around.
 

"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.

don't feed into it but if she keeps brining him up without you mentioning him that's a real big warning sign.. but I mean, she is RIGHT.. it's not like she is lying, most x's do stupid crap like that.. I did at one point in time :(
