"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.

Some of you may or may not remember this chick I work around at my job, The "Hot mom" as I call her. Only 21 and 3 kids. Well, she was kind of friendly with me, flirting and such, I knew she had kids but I had a thing for her, I mean, c'mon, she's hot. Well I took her flirting as her being in to me and I got the balls and asked for her number. I got it. Then crap went down hill, things got awkward at work and for a while there we did not talk to each other besides a whats up here and there. She did inform me she was seeing someone. After a bit I just stopped talking to her and every so often she would say hi or something and I would respond back. I did notice her looking at me every so often as well.

Well the last couple times she talked to me, I thought I would talk to her a bit more. Tonight she started to talk to me again, bringing up the point that I had a car, that I lived in the same place as before. She was wanting a ride. Well, okay, I did hit her up for a couple rides, but I still don't drive. I told her that, asking what happened to her car. She tells me. I tell her about the only ride I would be able to give her is a piggy back ride (I was a bit serious).

While I was talking to her, I was actualy looking at her face, something I did not do before. I also noted something else which brings me to the point of my post, Sometimes things may work out in the long run....

I bombed trying to get with this chick. I was constantly nervous around her. Never could get her to hang out with me. But perhaps that was a good thing good for a couple reasons. Why? Because a while later I actualy got my first date with another girl (and eventualy 2nd date) and the other reason...

This hot mom is now prego... again.. about 4 or 5 months prego which is about when I started to talk to her. I thought she might have been relationship material... how wrong I was
 

"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.

Why on Earth would you consider a 21 year old woman with 3 kids "relationship material"? You trying to have a rent - a - family?
