"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Hey guys,

With my approaches, I can usually get a good convo going...for like 1 minute. I'll say something relevant for the opener, run with that for a little bit, then I'll just fizzle out after a while. In a social setting, it's not that bad, but sometimes when I do it at a tram stop or something, it's somehow wierder for me.

For example, I opened a 7 waiting for a tram.
"Long wait for the tram eh?"
"Yeah I been here for 10 minutes"
"Oh that's a different accent, is it Scottish?"
we go on for a couple of minutes, she's a backpacker who's in town for a holiday, etc.
Then i just fizzle out. And I eject. This happens a lot.

so 2 questions please
1) What the hell do I do when I blank out?
2) I sometimes feel that there is no attraction, just a nice convo with a stranger. Any ideas?

PS: Any thing more from direct game would be appreciated, I don't really enjoy MM or Juggler. I just like natural/direct game, although tips from MM/Juggler/etc that doesn't require much reading will be cool too!
 

"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.

Every time you blank out, just start slapping yourself, the girl will ask why you hit yourself, there you go... another convo
