"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.

guys i really need help on this one, i have no idea about how to being tactful.
normally i can do all the dj stuff, but often i screw it up by asking offending questions, and its not just with girls, i offend my friends often as well, for example, the other day i got kicked because i said a guy friend of mine has got big tits.
Please tell me what questions and topics should i avoid, not just with girls, but with friends as well, thanks alot.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Before you speak, just think "would I be offended if someone said that to me?"

I know a lot of people who just speak their mind not knowing its quite hurtful sometimes. In these cases, they're best not saying anything.

Basically avoid saying anything that could be taken as critical and personal. Anything flaw that singles a person out is off limits. If your friend is fat, never make jokes about his weight! If a girl has no boobs, never call her flatchested. Make fun of things that aren't an issue or aren't something they feel insecure about.
