"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.

hey guys,

i havent been on here for about 2 1/2 years - the length of the relationship i've just broken off, so im a little rusty.

i got bored and decided to end it, kind of on good terms, although im not going to contact her again.

Now i want to get back into the game and i know i have a few options, but ive only been broken up for 2 days and i dont know whats an acceptable amount of time to start going for other women. for example i dont want to be talking to new women on facebook because the ex and her friends will see i'm talking to other women.

obviously after 2 days i feel a bit strange still because i havent been single for over 2 years, so it almost doesnt feel like im allowed to persue other women.

how long do you reckon i should leave it before i start with other women?

thanks.
 

"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.

Why does this matter? Why do you care if they see you talking to other women?
