"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.

i've made some big damn improvements lately...i went from talking to no girls all year to seeing 3 different girls at the same time. one who im not interested in anymore, and the other two i just had a "date" with this week. im good at getting the covnersation going, they show some interest, lots of eye contact, lots of touching on the arm, hitting. but i havent been able to get myself to make a ****ing move. i went to movie with one of them last night...she was leaning on me, but i couldnt get myself to put my arm around her or get any kino going. guys gimme ur expereince with this. i guess i just have to suck it up and stop be ing a *****. too much negative talk in my head as soon as i think about making a move on any of them.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah, you just have to get over your fear of doing it. Like anything, you may not come off all that smooth the first few times, but it'll all work out in the longrun. After making a certain 'move' a few times, it loses most of it's scariness and doesn't seem like a big deal at all.

You could always find little ways to build up to it, like putting your arm around female friends in a jokey way, etc.
