"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 don't know why you you said that last part.

This should be your next reply:

Maybe I can take you their sometime and give you a break from those ugly tards
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

didnt get what you said buddy
He's talking about that "Do you have a lot of guys chasing you" line. I thought it was weird too, but I didn't feel like commenting on it. At some point, I just gotta let you learn on your own...instead of asking about every sentence of conversation with this girl.

Either way. I don't care how cute this girl is. She sounds boring as s**t.

Awesome. Keep experimenting.

Do your thing. Ask for advice when something big happens. Otherwise, I guess it can't hurt to keep sending messages to this chick to see if you get a favorable response.

It's not like you're seriously emotionally invested in this.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

this thread reeks your state of over-analyzing and pedestaling, and that will be the fall of you brotha!

Why are you trying to keep a text conversation going?

a) its texting, its not the right medium for that
b) minute you have the feeling you are 'trying to keep a conversation going' is exactly when the conversation should pause, its a natural break point.
