"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.

OK, since I need some distraction away from a term paper I've been working on all day, I'm going to (finally) post a "field report" about how I gamed a waitress the other day.

I usually don't write these, primarily because I usually forget what I said, or they are nothing out of the ordinary. However, this one is pretty much a perfect example of how to game a waitress.

So, I spent all Wednesday snowboarding up in the mountains, drinking all day, all that good stuff. To pay back my friend who drove, I take him out to get some food at a local wing place (NOT Hooters!). When we meet our server, I notice she's a really cute chick. I'll give her a HB7.5 for you ratings junkies out there.

Nothing really happened while my friend and I ate our meal, as I wasn't really considering gaming the waitress yet (snowboarding tiredness and alcohol destroys my initiative).

At some point, I made a compliment on the waitress' cool hair (it is layered and colored interestingly), and asked her if I could see it, so I played with her hair a little bit. Since I give off more of a grizzly adams vibe than a gay hairdresser vibe, I took her letting me play with her hair as a sign of interest. Game on.

So after the waitress leaves, my buddy (a mack who had already #closed a girl on the slopes that day) knows that I'm going to try to game her, so as a friendly wager he bets that I can't pick her up. I'm usually averse to macking on girls that work as waitresses because I think they're just being nice to get a tip, but I figured why not, I had already gotten an IOI.

When she comes back with the check, the conversation goes something like this:
*S3 notices her nametag says "Reynold"*
S3: Hey, you don't look like a "Reynold", did you forget your nametag today?
HB: Yeah, I was in a rush today blah blah... (I told you guys I forget dialouge)
S3: Well then what's your real name?
HB: Lauren.
S3: So what do you like to do for fun, Lauren?
HB: Well, I like to go out...
S3: That's all? That sounds kind of boring...
HB: Well, I like to read, too.
S3: Ahh, a girl after my own heart! You just earned two points!
HB: *giggles* So what do you like to do for fun?
S3: *points at ski pass on his pants* I live to ski and board up in the mountains.
HB: That's cool.
S3: Well Lauren, I think you're a cute girl, I'd like to hang out with you sometime, what is your number?
HB: Number
S3: Right on, I'll give you a call sometime this weekend.
HB: :)

The funny thing is that I fully expected this to turn into a fuckup report, because since I was in the mode of tipping $1 or $2 at the bar all day, I accidentally left the girl a $2 tip on a $25 meal. :woo: If I was a chick, I would never go out with some cheapskate that left a 5% gratuity. However, I called her up tonight, and she was nothing but cool. We're going to hang out this week :rockon:

I'm sure I've left some things out of the report, but that's a pretty faithful recollection of the events. And that's how it's done.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Cool. Nice job. (Also maybe she would have felt like you were buying her had you left a big tip. So maybe the small one was smart. ;) )
