"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.

Hey Guys,

I will be heading over to Italy in late August of next year for festival and I've decided to learn Italian to help myself get around and not look like a complete tourist.

I'm kind of excited to go and to be honest I've never taken up the time to learn another language.

As long as I can squeeze in at least 30 minutes of studying time a day to go along with my poker training, hopefully by June I can be sorta fluent in both.

Are there any bi lingual or tri lingual posters on this site? if, so whats your second language?
 

"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.

You want to become fluent in a foreign language in six months by studying it for 30 minutes a day?? LMAO! That's kind of like saying "'I'm going to play football for 30 minutes a day and hopefully by June I can sort of compete in the NFL".

fluent? no i know thats impossible. just enough to hail a cab and grab some food. A friend of mine is fluent in Italian is going to the same festival so I can bounce broken Italian with him.

BTW..your analogy is wrong.

Im not shooting to become a pro.

I have Italian Crash Course read by a female Narrarator. But I wouldn't say I'm trilingual. I just casually read over and learn what I can. Italian is awesome and the people are friendly.
