"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 had an interesting situation today: could I have laid this girl?

OK I met this girl as I was walking to the eating hall today, and I 'opened' her with "Is this place closed" (I genuinely wanted to know - it was) and then she turned round and I realised she was hot.

We talked for like 15 minutes, some kino, and I know for a fact she was attracted to me...but she was leaving campus to go back to her own college in 2 hours. We said goodbye eventually and I kinda thought I should have said something....but didn't. A number would have been useless.....do you think there was any way I could have laid this girl? It annoyed me cause I was 100% sure she would have fvcked me after a few meetings or whatever.

Any similar experiences?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

pretty hard to tell man. only you were there.

u should have just asked if she wanted to hang out sometime, like no big deal, or nothin, just casual. Now you'll never know. I wouldn't fuss though, its only one chick. Get the next one.

Wise words indeed. Thanks for the virtual slap around the face. :D

The only thing holding you back was the fear of rejection (or why wouldn't you try to push things as far as you could?). Maybe the intrigue of wanting to know how far you could take it will drive you to escalate things as far as you can next time.

Have this aim in future: always end an interaction with some form of close - get some action, get rejected, get a number, get an e-mail. Don't let things go with a "bye". Doesn't it feel a let down to have that great encounter and realize you actually wound up with nothing from it (except a short-term ego boost perhaps)? You say you are "know for a fact she was attracted to you", if that's true, you can bet she was thinking "why didn't he make a move, maybe it was because a) he wasn't attracted to me or b) he was he lacking confidence". At any rate, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It would need tight game to f-close her in the 2-hr timeframe, but you won't progress without practice and missing a few shots!

Yea, you're right. I'm usually fairly fearless, but in this case I didn't really know how to play it....I guess next time I'll ask her to hang out in my room or whatever...and then take it from there.

Why? (just curious)
Oh she was from a different state...I'll never see her again now.

It was in the back of my mind to ask her flat out if she wanted to "have some fun"....I mean there was no-one around....ah well, there's always a next time.
