"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.

This site is good for giving improvement to people who suck with girls, or people who simply want to add to their game.
But for me, I don't even have a game, I just ignore them all because I feel afraid or awkward talking to them.
Because of my personality, and that I just left school, I don't get the chance to even meet much people anymore, except from at the gym.

How would you guys get over this? Go to a psychologist and seek help for my sociophobia? Or can any of you relate to this situation/give me advice. What's worked for you?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I can relate.

I think you need to get a change of scenery. Move somewhere or get a job that puts you with people.

Do the bootcamp. Even if you get no ass, then at least your shyness problem won't be as bad. In fact after a few weeks your shyness problem will probably go away altogether.
