"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'm gonna open a business, computer repair, hardware and software. The hardest part seems picking a name.

I have this idea so far, <city name> COMPUTER, or <city name> COMP. Because my city rhymes well with COMPUTER and COMP, let's use MIAMI for example, although I don't live in Miami now. So it would look something like this, MIAMI COMP or MIAMI COMPUTER. What you think?

I think I'll have a jackpot with people who go on internet and type computer repair miami.

Basically this seems the hardest part right now, especially that I am a perfectionist if you know how that feels. I can't move on to next step without a good name.

Please give tips and suggestions.
 

"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.

Eben Pagan reccommend this method:

Find a pair of words that have rhythm. The best example of this is Coca-Cola. Another example is David DeAngelo, and Double Your Dating. Those businesses have done very well for themselves. The idea behind this is to make the business name hard to forget, not easy to remember. Like a catchy song that is stuck in your head.
