"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.

Interesting situation... was this a rude or a polite gesture?

On a date tonight with a HB8, dressed a bit provocative, we're sitting at the bar chatting and hitting it off. All of a sudden this guy walks up, I recognized him as he'd been sitting a few seats down from us, and he pushes this stuffed animal at me. I knew instantly it had something to do with my date and responded in a playful funny/sarcastic tone and it went something like this:

ME: Is this for me?!
HIM: Uhh... no I actually got it for the lady
ME: Oh.. because i'll take it
HIM: Well.. it was for the young lady but whatever you two want I guess
ME: Oh ok, I think it'd be perfect for my dog
HIM: *Shrugs his shoulders and walks away*

I didn't really feel threatened or disrespected because he was older (mid 40s?) and below me in looks, but nonetheless it seemed like he was encroaching on my territory. If he was just trying to be polite i'd feel bad for being kind of a d!ck, but I feel like most guys would have taken it personally. Never had this happen. Your thoughts??
 

"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.

I love how you guys always give numbers to your dates. It would be very interesting to see if she was actually an 8 or not. Looks like this guy was trying to horn in on your date. You have to love the stuffed animal bit. Maybe it was for his date that never showed up or a date that walked out on him. The question is why did he have a stuffed animal with him? He was trying to impress your date being cute with a stuffed toy. Someone should tell that guy it doesn't work doing that with women.
