"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 just called up a HB that I had my eye on for a while and asked her out for Saturday. She told me that she has to work until 8pm but said that I could join with her friends at a party type thing on Friday.

I said that I would get back to her on that, only because I'm not interested in getting to know her friends, only her. We both have busy schedules and I was wondering when I could fit her in. Anyway, I asked her if this weekend was no good then asked her if she could next Thursday?

She says that she doesn't have anything then and we both said that we'll see then. Am I hopeless here? She kept asking me what was going on Saturday night, and I do have something fun for us, but if she's real tired from work then I can understand. Which is why I told her to keep next Thursday open.

I think I will call her in a couple of days to tell her that I can't make it on Friday and then tell her that I'll have something fun for us next Thursday. Sound like a good plan guys?
 

"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.

She gets off at 8 oclock... meets u at a party around 9:30 lets say. Its not that late. She wont be tired hanging wit her friends on a friday night. How many people will be there? Quite a few or just her little social group? I'd go to to a party with her Friday night get a little drunk and make her IL high. If she ain't feelin you... you can just go mac on other girls at the party. Or wait til thursday when you can just be one on one and focus more attention on each other.

Dude, just go to the party. It's an opportunity to work on her. Why wait Until Thursday when anything can happen or come up? You have a window of opportunity, just go through it. Try not to think about things too much. Many people hook up every day and not so much science is involved.


Just as said above, if things don't go to well, at least you will be at a party where more potential prey will likely be.

I believe she is going with her friends. Well, from what I remember of the phone conversation, she said that she was going to a party-type thing on Friday with her friends.

I was hesitant to say yes, because I didn't want to seem that I'd drop my plans just to make time for her this Friday. She has to work until 8 pm on Saturday, so a date with her on Saturday at 9pm would be awkward.

So I told her how about next Thursday instead, because I really don't want to meet her friends. I want to take her out, so its more of a one-on-one interaction than with her friends.

I think I'll call her on Wednesday and let her know that I can't make it due to other plans, but thank her for the invite. I will in turn ask her out for next Thursday and tell her what we will do on that fun night. Sound good guys?

I think its a great idea, personally I only date monday thru thursday anyway. I know what you're talkking about in her friends and going to a party. screw that. tell her you will be around "after - hours" saturday night after her party and friends.
otherwise thursday
she might just call saturday night
 

"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.
