"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 listen to Classical...

And the few girls who had found out have creamed their pants when I played some Beethoven for them on the piano. If you know where to look, classical has the best kind of music for all your DJ needs. Rach and Beethoven help get your blood pumping, Liszt to stop giving a **** (Liszt is usually pretty dark, makes you hate the world), while a slow Chopin (waltz, ballad) to get her in the mood.

Rock and rap are garbage compared to it. Plenty of AMOGs, including many on this site, denounce classical, but man is it powerful.
 

"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.

Someone posts this topic like once a per month in the OT forum, but anyhoo please give us a sample of the ideal classical music playlist to fit every different mood. I'm always looking for new music to play.

Musical talent of ANY kind is good stuff. Keep meaning to pick something up...
 

"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.

I find Chopin's Ballades work wonders, as well as his nocturnes for, as Flabbergasped said, getting girls in the mood Nocturnes a bit better for background than the Ballades, which get hectic at times. Yeah, and casually dropping in a Liszt etude doesn't hurt either!

Basically playing classical shows the girl you're not like everybody else, and have a good / classy taste. Classical sounds good to everyone, if it's loud, anyone can listen to classical... regardless of what they normally listen to. With classical you can't go wrong, while with other rap / rock she may not like / be disgusted, etc.

Here's a good playlist for a variety of moods.

If you're about to go sarging (I'll list the piece's title, composer, and a good recording):
-Gnomenreigen, Franz Liszt, Rachmaninoff or Horowitz
-Hungarian Rhapsody #2 (preferably the Horowitz arrangement), Franz Liszt, most recordings I've heard are decent
-Sonata Op. 27 No. 1 (Quasi una fantasia), Beethoven, Richter's is nice (if there's ever been headbanger music in classical, this one is it)
-Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto (Movement 3), Rachmaninoff, Horowitz and only Horowitz (the entire concerto is awe-inspiring, but the 3rd movement especially gets the blood boiling. The first is probably the greatest single movement in any concerto, EVER)
-Scherzo #1, Chopin

To get the girl in the mood (remember, this will mostly be slow songs, and I won't recommend recordings cus I'm lazy XD):
-Liebestraum #3, Franz Liszt
-Any nocturne will work, but Op. 72 No. 1 in E minor is one of my favorites, Chopin
-Moonlight Sonata Mov. 1 or Fur Elise always work, since they're popular. Both are by Beethoven
-Intermezzo Op. 112 (I think it's 112, the A major one?), Brahms (I've never seen a girl NOT get teary after hearing this piece)
-Impromptu #3, Franz Schubert, very emotional.

When you're ready to screw (no, really, there's classical for this):
-Pathetique Sonata Mov. 1, Beethoven, this piece is very fast-paced, yet not harsh like the one's in the first section.
-Scherzo No. 4 in E major, Chopin.

Just a sample compilation. There's literally millions of works that are appropriate for any occasion, and I didn't even get into Mozart, Bach, and Haydn. If you want some Mozart, check out Sonata K.330, and for Bach, take a look at the Cminor Partita.

Bach, Brandenburg Concertos. They are the PERFECT music for spending a saturday with your girl. Makes you look sophisticated without being too snobby.

Mozart is excellent background music for dinner or wine.

Most of the Romantic composers (1800's to the 1900's basicly) are excellent for plowing some fertile fields. For dark moody sex, try some of the Requiems that compsers write.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'd say it be kind of eery making love as the dies irea from Verdi's Requiem blasts from your stereo. It almost seems...profane!:D

Thread starter...I'm very into classical and actually have an active interest in learning the piano one day (after room opens up in my classes several semesters down the road and I can take that music theory course.) How long have you been playing piano? =D
