"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.
How far are you from your goals?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

i want to be a doctor... i decided to leave high school early because it was a huge waste of time... so i took my GED. i haven't taken any classes yet. it's going to be a real pain.
i know what i want, but there are SOOO many paths to get there.
the easiest, but most painful way to get there is to have the military (air national guard) pay for it. it's not as hard as it seems, i'm sure... the easiest of all the military basic trainings and tech schools, i'm VERY sure... but it's a huge change of lifestyle i don't want to commit to.
i ALMOST had a chance to get a full ride at a 4 year local college. be the top scorer on the GED test within the room i was taking it in... with a minimum of a certain number... and i was 6 freakin points away... thats almost neglible compared to how many freakin questions i got right. with this, i could have skipped the military completely.
it still pisses me off telling that story to people.
it's minor... but for some reason i really don't want to put up with the strict rules of the military.... i can't grow my hair out to even a medium length for how many years if i join. and... my hairs been shaggy for years.
but it's going to take dedication... and i have to do what i have to do. the benefits are worth it (getting paid TO GO to school, getting paid for one weekend of service, sign on bonus of $15,000... money money.)... but i freakin hate change. i'm pretty scared of life of being a REAL adult.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Young brother, the trick is to prioritize your goals. Pick one or two which are feasable and accomplish those first. Move on to the next one or to follow.ItsOnNow said:
