"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.

Girls who work in retail can be tricky to gauge. The last time I went in to Banana Republic, the girl who was helping me was really pretty, nice, and seemed like she may be interested in me. When I was checking out, she asked, "so what do you need navy blue shorts for, anything special?" However, I kind of just chalked it up to her being nice and doing her job well, rather than being interested.

But then I got to thinking - because it's tough to gauge whether she's into you or she's just good at her job, it doesn't matter all that much. All you can really ask for when trying to pick up girls is the interaction, whether it's forced or not. The cold approach is one of the toughest and most intimidating parts of dating, but when you walk into the store she works at, she takes care of the approach for you because she HAS to. So there you go, you get your chance without having to really do anything.

I promise I'm not one of those guys who thinks Hooters waitresses and strippers like him lol.

Anyone have any stories of past success and/or advice?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's not like I've done this much lately.

But I've had good luck opening such women by inquiring about what they're like 'off duty' and going from there. This worked with a bank loan officer, a stunning perfume model and another 'retail woman' or two.

Look into their eyes and eye fvck. If her eyes light up its on. I only go to certain types of clothing stores (i have an interest in clothing) and I am dressed in the same style as the shop girl and loads of times chatting to the girl I know its on. You find that if you are a repeat customer it becomes easier. I don't know how you deal with this $hit say in a food store though.
