"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.

The girl I'm going to prom with....she always complains that I don't call her back (I oftentimes don't...I hate the phone, and besides, I have other things to do). Yesterday, SHE was the one who never called me back. Obviously, she's trying to give me a taste of my own medicine. I didn't really want to talk with her on the phone anyway, but what should I say when I next see her? Should I act like it never happened? Should I say something like "now you can't complain about me not calling you back?" Not sure what kind of approach to take.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

ignore it, call her when you want to, but don't call it multiple times in a row. it might be a test seeing how you deal with the situation or there might be someone else who's getting the priority right now.. it's not important anyway. ignore it

The reason to act as if nothing happened - and please remember this golden rule the rest of your life in your interactions with women - is because the moment you say ANYTHING about it at all, then they know they got to you PLUS then they'll know just what to do when they want to rattle you the next time.
 

"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.

Makes perfect sense to me. But, supposing another time comes where I don't return one of her calls (this is bound to happen) and she complains....should I bring this up, saying that she doesn't always return my calls?
