"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.

I think confidence comes naturally if you know what to talk about

I just can't seem to strike up a conversation with a stranger woman. To make matters worse they are always found in groups. If some invisible geek were at my side all the time and told me exactly what to talk whenever I spot a woman, I would do so with supreme confidence. I fail not because I'm afraid to talk to them but because I don't know what to talk. Simply saying 'Hi, how are you doing?' etc don't work. They leave you back in square 1 very quickly. I can't see how confidence comes from just feeling good about yourself and the world. It might be called confidence but how does that alone help you get a woman?

I'm sorry: I just saw another guy has asked a very similar question. I would delete my message if I could.
 

"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.

Its the other way round. Knowing what to talk about is a symptom and not a cause of confidence. You don't know what to say because you're nervous. Confidence comes from beliefs and physiology (seriously, try working out it does wonders).

you need both confidence and competence to succeed.

Ask lots of big fat open ended questions.

use mystery methods patterns. when u talk to the group .

he says

hey here is were the partys at . !! then he looks at the target (girl) and says if i wasnt gay youll be mine it shows her u are flirting . then escalte from there
 

"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.

:up:

Knowing what to say is not required to be confident. It's not about a person's conversations, it's about his character.

hot girls get complimented on their looks all the time.

If you want to stand out you have to find something unique about her that you can compliment. You do that by asking big fat open ended questions that you can relate to. That builds attraction.

Example:

You: So what's your passion in life?
Her: I want to become a nurse.
You: Sexy and caring. I like that about you! Yeah, I like helping people, too. I want to become blablabla (relate to what she says from the "I" perspective by describing what you feel and not so much the facts).

That's a good way to talk to women.

You mean unknown women. You can't strike up a conversation because you want to sleep with them. Could you strike up a conversation with Rosie O at the bank if she liked hockey and you liked hockey? Of course you could, because you just care about the conversation and don't care about sleeping with her.

If the girl is ugly or fat and talked about Sports (assuming you know about some), there is no way in hell you would be nervous. It would be like talking to your buddy.
