"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.
Intorversion - (SERIOUSLY) help me make it a plus to get women!

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Thats very wrong attitude because sometimes they try to start a conversation!!!!
Sometimes they give me a tone of "Why aren't you with the rest? Retarded?" and then I ignore them but sometimes they use it to get close to me.
Explaining what introvert means is just boring and not a good opening conversations.
I can't think of anything to say besides "I just like to chill by myself sometimes"
"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.

1) I'm tiredsexxyback said:'letting my mind rest a bit' won't work. sounds like you have psych problems or something.
2) Not feeling well
3) I have a headache
4) Pretend like you're fumbling through your pcokets and say something like "I'm trying to remember where I put my _____" (i.e. mp3 player, ID, usb key/memory stick, camera, etc)
How about one of those for deflecting that question?

Very negative... except for the last one. But when I sit down, I sit down for 15 minutes or so.
"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.

an Introverts tendency to think BEFORE they talk can be a great advantage. go for quality, not quantity of words. and on a date, do something that doesnt require much talking, like an action date, movie, or games.
On a personal note, I AM working at becoming more social, but I also enjoy quiet time alone to reflect and unwind
Still concerned about the reply to "Why are you alone? Why are you sad?"
What do I tell my FRIENDS? I would be in a bar and all of a sudden "Dude, are you OK man? You don't look like you are having a good time!" and I am!
For the same token, Extroverts have to work harder when dealing with their partner in a one-on-one situation as every intimate relationship must have.Babnik said:This is perfect what you said. Introverts have to WORK at social events, while extroverts ENJOY social events and get energy boost from them. Introverts use up their powers during social events.
Here is the thing...an "extrovert" type personallity might get you noticed in a social event by some women. But an "introverted" type personallity (please, do NOT confuse this with shyness) might get that same woman, once she gets to know you, interested for a longer period of time.
My point is...BOTH have trade off. One is not better than the other.
You don't have to explain anything about your personallity.Babnik said:Thats very wrong attitude because sometimes they try to start a conversation!!!!

Simply work on your mannerisms...so they look confident and collective and calm.
Bad approach. Sending negativity is not a good approach.TillTheEndOfTime said:1) I'm tired

What about? "Hey, I'm good..." and then continue with the conversation.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

If this situation is a constant problem, I don't think introversion is even the real issue here. It is either one of two things: your friends are "too social" or you're a little anti-social at times. Personally, I am laid back, but still social. So if my friends were party animals, there would be a clash because I just can't be as enthusiastic as a party animal, it is not in me to do it.Babnik said:bump!

What do I tell my FRIENDS? I would be in a bar and all of a sudden "Dude, are you OK man? You don't look like you are having a good time!" and I am!
Something doesn't seem right if your friends have to ask you that question so much. Can you give more details/examples?

Don't worry about explaining yourself...as you are now sounding VERY insecure.
The fact that women are approaching you when you are "alone" is a PLUS. Do you realize how many of these guys that post in here would give ANYTHING to have at least one woman approach them in life?
And you are concerned about some canned answer to your "predicament"? This is unreal!
What about simply working on your mannerisms and once that one or two women approach you (note: from a group, now they are only one or two which put them in YOUR element...YOUR advantage), then instead of giving them an explanation or some cheesy canned answer...why not simply smile and change to topic?
Woman: "Why are you doing alone? You look so sad?"
You: {Smile} "Hi. Sad?" {laugh} "Hey, ain't you a friend of ____?" (or "Don't you work with/in ____?")
If you smile when a woman approach you...you can rest assure that they will NEVER ask you if you are sad. If you stand with confidence...you can rest assure that if the approach you is because they want to strike conversation with you.
I mean...how many time a man approaches a woman as ask her the same STUPID question? "Why are you so alone?" or "Why are you so sad?"

I agree.
And it might have to be with body language. That's my guess. A body language of a young man going through depression.
Using movies as an example. James Bond sits in a Casino. Does he look like a person that is talking to a bunch of people, etc? Nope. Typically the "bad" guy is the extroverted one. James Bond tends to be quite and observant and low profile and calm and collective. He draws attention, because his body language (and looks) as well as his masculinity brings that on him.
Now...he is an introverted. But he is a very good one as he is great seducing women in a ONE-on-ONE situation.

We are in a bar. I start talking for myabe 15 minutes, getting to knew guys and girls, interesting conversation. Someone else picks up the conversations an dI stand listening and slowly enter my own thoughts and brain and sit down and just think about things. Because I am not standing like the rest and talking NON-STOP - I look a bit out of place and sad (just neutral facial expression).
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
