"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 all,

My brother is 17 years old (gonna be a senior in high school), still lives at home, doesn't have a driver's license or a cell phone. He's at the stage right now where he's trying to get some action. He says he's relatively popular at school. He's a pretty athletic and doesn't seem to have issues meeting girls.

He's always asking me for advice on how to close the deal with chics. I'm not sure what to tell him as he's at a severe disadvantage because he's still living at home, can't drive, etc. I've always told him to focus on improving himself. In my experience, if you're attractive and confident you really shouldn't have problems getting women.

I think I'm gonna refer him to the DJ bible and some of the other resources available on this site.

Any other suggestions on how to advise him?
 

"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.

Is it abnormal for 17-year-olds to still be living at home in Canada?

In America, kids aren't considered grown until they're at least 18 and graduated from high school. Moving out at 17 is almost unheard of.

Not abnormal by any means. I didn't move out til I was 21. I just don't know how to advise him because our situations are so different right now.

I didn't really start getting laid regularly til I moved out.

I think it would be easier to advise him on situation by situation.

Is he asking for advice "in general"?

If so, you are saying the right things. And refer him to the DJ Bible. Just tell him not to get caught up in the SS Matrix. ;)
