"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 just stumbled across this clip on the internet. I think Johnny Depp is pretty don Juanish. I like his overall swagger, his relaxed confidence, his slow talking, and his quick-witted answers. This is a good example of how to behave, like a guy who can have any girl he wants (and actually can).

I also think he's peacocked nicely. None of that ugly peackocking crap, this is a way to peacock and look stylish. Just accessorize the right way.

P.S. I also advice checking out Tom Cruise. I know a lot of people don't like him, but you can not argue that he is one charismatic s.o.b. Check out a Tom Cruise interview. Look at his freakin' UNWAVERING eye contact that he holds.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Honestly, he came off as stoned.

And "haha, you said double duty" is not a quick witted answer. Especially not when it was delivered like 10 seconds later.

I agree he has a relaxed and confident posture though.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
