"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.

Well I have a problem like many guys here that isn't unusal. But the problem i have just might be though.

Standar sort of thing:
guy meets girl out on town one night, geta bit of fun and a real number for the night. she tells me to call her

Guy rings girl after a couple of days, talks for a while about random stuff and the night they met but gets cut short after to answer cell.

Things seemed fine the previous night just cut short, so I ring next night to keep talking but she out 4 while. So I talk to her freind and ask her what it might be like 4 us at the moment. She said not so good.

So now i'm confused because I'm getting 2 different things from 2 people about the same with one person being her. I would jsut froget it but this girl seemed alot better than anyone else I met, So what Do I do as a a sure way of getting this girl?
 

"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.

You talked too much on the phone without setting up a get together with her. You already made a good impression on her from the night you two met, so why did you give yourself a chance to ruin that impression by talking on the phone so much. Plus you called her two days in a row, which makes you seem desperate. I'd say your best chance is to call her again in about a week to try to set up a get together with her. No chit chat! Just a reminder of how you met and then an invitation to lunch. I wouldn't get your hopes up though, her interest level might be too low. Suggest a couple different times you're available. If she dodges and doesn't give you a counter offer, she's not interested.

Check out page 47 of the DJ boot camp

(you'll have to download acrobat reader if you don't already have it)

It outlines (in my opinion) the best procedure for making that first call.

Don't let her talk so much next time! :) You've got to subtly let her know that your time is valuable. You might have to politely interupt her, by saying something like, "hey listen, I gotta go, but lets get together for lunch/coffee/whatever sometime. I'm available _____ at ____ or _____ at ____, which would you prefer?"

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
