"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.

"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.

Talk to her about something she's doing. It's pretty easy really. Just be loose and fun about it. Where do you see her most of the time maybe I can help.

"Hi, my name is cA^, I've seen you around here before, but I don't think we've ever been properly introduced..."

Once you get her name, follow that up with something funny or witty to set the mood and then go off to the races.

I'm a big fan of just being direct and polite with people...lets you immediately get a sense of their attitude and body language. Plus, nothing makes you look worse than going up and delivering some kind of canned line, as the first thought that goes through anyone's mind is "Wow, how long did it take you to come up with that one," especially if she's noticed you checking her out before; she might think you daft.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

He makes a great point go with something simple. It's not hard all you have to do is not be intimidated! Just remember she's giveing you "the eye" Which is ******** for "Come talk to me quick before I lose intrest in you for being an Average Frustrated Chump that can't talk to girls." She already wants you just remember that.

Alright guys,

Thanks for all the replys! Makes me want to see her right now and introduce myself! :)

I think i'll go with the "Hi, my name is ..., I've seen you around here before, but I don't think we've ever been properly introduced..." line - simple, direct and confident :] !

ConfidentDan : Mostly in the library, however I also see her in the corridors but they are quite congested as classes are moving etc. so i'd prefer to do it in the library =) alot quieter and people wont eavesdrop i guess.

thanks again guys, i'll post on how it goes when i get home on monday :]
