"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.

I am currently involved in a relationship, fairly new ( 2 weeks). the problem is this girl is very attractive and was voted prom queen and homecoming queen no joke. but she always has guys after her and she asked to go exclusive with me. i want to avoid being an AFC though because i tend to be the sensitive romantic type of guy. how can i show affection yet keep a challenge in a relationship? i like her a lot and want to hold onto her. so tips would be welcome.

We have a high school forum for a reason.
Also two weeks is not a relationship.

just keep going out with her, and in the mean time read the Book of Pook. Worst Case scenario: you get all chumpish, she breaks up with you, and you're heartbroken for a few weeks.


and try not to do anything with her more than twice a week MAX, never two days in a row. Shouldn't be too hard now that school's out.

"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.

if you want the realtionship to last you need to grow a pair...
1) YOU DON'T NEED HER
2) she probably ain't that hott...u just got oneitis
3) stop giving her the attention she wants, make her chase you

Just do what your doing, just be alittle edgy

1. Dont call her or text her all the time
2. Go out with just your guys friends from time to time
3. Avoid seeing her more than 3 times per week,
4. Dont be Jealous and act like you were the prom king, etc, your the catch she is lucky to have you,

i dont know where pook's bible is located...? but i was looking for more of people's experiences in what they did wrong or things they did RIGHT as examples. reading someone's theory is great and all, but just isnt the same.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
