"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'm 20 years old, and I just hit on an hb9 on Monday. I'm and virgin and I never been with a girl. But using the skills from deangelo and this forum, I somehow scored on this chick. She give me her college emal and her cell #. We then had a very short talk, I already set up a coffee date on saturday.
I'm a very poor conversationalist. Even with my friends, we always have gap holes between our conversation so I wouldn't surprise how I'll end up this weekend with the chick. I need help how to survive my first date. You guys have no idea how quiet men have to put through, but I'm trying best. Can anyone give me some topic ideas, and how to last 30 mins?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You from Hawaii?

Anyways, there are the two old standby's "where are u from and what's your major?" Ponder these subjects. Think of things to say to keep her talking about HER dreams and HER ambitions.

Even if there is a pause in the conversation, I say "Embrace the silence. I've never had an uncomforatable pause." And laugh.

Just focus on doing your best and get the most out of the experience.

Think in advance what to talk about. So when a silence accurs, you have a lot of stuff to fall back on and get into instantly. Don't worry about whether or not she's gonna go home with you or not. I like to think in the 'bridges' (e-book DYD) in how far I come with girls.
The Bridges are: approach, digits, date request, date itself, holding hands, kissing, make out, alone with her in private, clothes of, sex.
You already made it through three and very likely four of those! Not too bad, now make sure you make fun of her and enjoy a good time with her on the date, then figure out how to transition into the next bridge. Good luck.

Look up nouning (worked for me) try having chat over IRC or something if nothing else lol. You just look for the nouns in a sentence and ask something about it.
