"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.

Kissing a girl's hand when introduced

"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.

Dumb question but how what would you consider "playfully"?

It is a bold move I'd have to say, not too many guys do it these days.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I've never actually seen anyone do it so I can't tell you if it works or not but I could see it working if done right. Just got to show a lot of confidence. But I think it will fail more times than work.

That's because the times has changed, this isn't 18th century France.

The equivelent of that today is greeting a woman by kissing her on the cheek and doing so with confidence (on both cheeks if you are in europe).

However I still hold firm to the belief that if you want to create high interest in a woman, the first kiss should always be on the lips and not anywhere else. A simple handshake to start the kino and looking into her eyes with confidence for first meeting is your best bet.

One of the only ways (the only one I have thought of) that would make this funny is...

Over exaggerate everything, talk in a British accent, act as if you're her Knight in shining armor, and over do it immensely. Make sure she knows you're mocking a chivalrous d-bag from the 15th century.

I heard that when you shake a girl's hand, you can make it more memorable/flirty by putting your left hand on the back of her right hand (so that you're basically using both hands). I've tried doing that before and it seemed to work ok. Kissing on the hand is just kinda weird, tho.

i wouldnt recommend most guys to do it. doing something like that is REAL easy to come across as a slimeball. youve gotta have a lot of confidence and charm.. so much in fact, that it wouldnt even matter whether you shook her hand, kissed it, hugged her, whatever. with enough confidence just about anything you do is cool and attractive.

ive done it a couple times and had fun with it. if i was at the bar and a group of girls introduced me to one of their cute friends and i was drunk and didnt care id do it. the girls loved it.. but again, as much as i hate to say it, if i wasnt 6'4" and in good shape and dressed sharp at the time, it probably wouldnt have gone over so well. i definately wouldnt do it in everyday situations, but thats just me.

That might work with a very old fashioned type of girl, but most women would look at you like a weirdo. Kissing a hand has just fallen out of fashion like the horse and buggy. The Victorian age is over.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I use it all the time :)
By doing it playfully I mean - doing it in a way that the chick can´t tell if you are being serious or poking fun at her.
So you accompany it with some 18th century phrase like "wilt thou give me your hand" or whatever before kissing it.
I like it, girls like it, otherwise I wouldnt do it.
Corny it is when you do it drop dead seriously.

Firm, but not crushing handshake, with good, warm eye contact, in which you glide your hand off hers at the end of the handshake. Instant turn-on: sometimes continues as a bit of hand massage play.

In a playful way when introduced, is perfectly fine. It shows that you display confidence/sense of humour, providing they think its humourous that is. The key is to smile when you do it.
 

"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.
