"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.
If you're holding a beer at a party or while standing up

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Amazing; I do believe that it shows more Relaxed/calm body language, since holding it by your chest, makes you look more tense

I prefer to hold it up to my chest, this position is more active and assertive, more extraverted. I associate it with a "Ready for action!" or "Bring it on!" attitude.
Holding it down to your side, however, makes me you look more passive and introverted. It's the same as with standing with your hands in your pockets, it shows a certain dullness.
Of course, it's not just about where you put your drink, your whole body comes into play when we're talking about sending out a certain message by body language. I think you can look confident in both positions, depending on the rest of your body. Still, when I think of a spontaneous 'center of the party' guy, I'd sooner imagine him with his drink up his chest than down to his side.
"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.
