"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.

was not having to hear about weddings almost every other day. Or people rushing to get married. Amongst single people(in their 30s) I know, esp the girls, it's almost become a big game of musical chairs where everyone is scared to death to be the last one standing.

Nothing wrong with getting married if that's what you're ready for, I just miss the days when I rarely heard about it.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

The last wedding I attended was actually when I was in my 20's.

The bride instead of throwing the garter she just walked over to me and hands it to me winking with a big smile and hugs me tight and whispers maybe this will help speed things up...

I always said why anyone would want to get marred....

I'm in my early 20's and it's all I hear about?! Granted I DJ a lot of weddings but besides that every week it seems another couple I know is getting engaged or married! Maybe in 20 years I'll stop hearing about it. To many people are getting married way to young around me

In 20 years you'll be hearing about a bunch of divorces and drama over alimony and child custody.
 

"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.

Wait another 20 yrs and there won't be hardly any weddings. Then you get to start going to funerals instead. Time flies brothers. Don't waste a day.
