"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.

could someone give me some good open ended questions for building up my conversing skills
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

whats your happiest memory

what would your ideal party be

if you could have 1 wish what would it be

theres are just non specific questions, it can be about anything, like "what is it aobut these clothes that make you liek them so much" basicly a question whihc can not be answered with a yes or no statment. To creat your own, just take a normal question you might ask and change it so it needs a developed answer, for example, if your question was, do you like to go to the cinema, the girl could say yes or no, it would be better to say what do you tihnk about the cinema, followed by what makes you like (or dislike) the cinema.

i hope iv been a help

who cares
i was talking to some girl the other day and i something came up about some other guy that we both know. which i feel sorry for, bc he lies a lot....

and then i commented on what i thought his life would be like in 10 years. so then she was curious what i thought her life was going to be like in 10 years (pefect opportunity) i busted on her, it was so funny.... which then turned into a bigger and bigger conversation...then i told her what i would be in 10 years which was completly fictional and just ****y and funny....

so we had a conversation of about an hour and a half, but she just knew as much as she knew when i started talking with her, yet it let her know about more about my personality.... this way she likes me more, but i dont become boring by her knowing my lifelong plans and stuff
 

"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.

Who's cooler (not better) Superman or Batman. I think Batman but you have to be serious and argue it like its the most important thing in the world for it to have the full effect.

If you could have any magic power what would it be?

those are my favorites. Post yours.
