"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 just moved into a new townhouse that is in a small development with only 28 or so units. This is going to be the sweetest place to live in town. Walking distance to all the bars and clubs downtown, each unit is three stories and most have a deck and jacuzzi on the roof. I call mine the "pimp palace" lol! I'm in the process of painting and decking it out. This place is going to be unbelieveable when I get finished.

Last night I went to a party that one of my neighbors was having, so I got to meet several of my other neighbors. They are all super cool people, professionals, all around my age, and they all like to party. They are trying to organize a little block party thing. Jeezus, if we do this we will have half of the city partying in our complex!

Let the good times roll.....
 

"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.

Bro you could start your own bar or resturant even. That can be a lucrative business.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Str8Up: Do you own this development or are you just renting? I'm actively starting to invest now, within the next month or two I'm hoping to get my first building.

I am renting the unit currently, but I have a purchase contract to buy it that is set to close in January. At that time I will "officially" own the unit, although the guy who sold it to me lives in CA and has never even seen the unit, so I am basically doing whatever I want to it.

Good deal...you are ready to jump into the game, that's great! Keep in mind that it takes time. You likely won't get a payoff for awhile, but when it comes it's SWEET. I can't imagine my life being any other way....I sleep late, make a few phone calls and whatnot and usually have the rest of the day to myself. For the most part all of my weekends and holidays are free, I can vacation whenever I want, it really is a great way to live. Congrats, you are on the right path.

I will try to post pics when I get it closer to being finished. Should be good inspiration for anyone who wants to choose this path.
