"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.

Hey people! Recently, I began carrying around a digital camera with me wherever I go. It's a small, cheap one, so if it gets stolen out of my truck, I don't really care.

Anyway, we just had a new employee start at work. The first thing I noticed about him was the car he drives. I wouldn't be caught dead driving this thing - It's covered in flowers!

So, I present my first candid snapshot. I'll try getting a better pic later:

"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.

Maybe it's his girlfriend's car and he has to drive it right now because his big manly rock-crawling Suburban is in the shop. :)
 

"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.

Well, I was just hoping to come up with some explaination besides it being his car. That's just not natural. New Bugs should come from the factory with a sports bra and a Jenny Craig pamphlet.

Just let me think it's some guy who borrowed it from his girl for some very manly reason, it'll help my outlook on society. :D

Hahaha, oddly, I knew the second I saw the title of this thread that it would be a New Beetle. I just had no idea it would be covered with FLOWERS.

Believe it or not, when I worked mall security while still in high school, one of the guys I worked with drove a rainbow-striped scooter to work everday... not only was he straight, he actually got a fair amount of attention from the females.:eek:

Anyways, funny picture...
 

"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.
