"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.

"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.

"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.

“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.
****ty workout last time, good workout this time.

BTW I have a story to tell
the night began pretty boring, no one showed up on time and half of the people were suppossed not to drink.
Well, we were a cool bunch of four people who started things up with some drinking songs and a 6er shot of vodka down the throat.
Then of course stuff began to happen. we had some group singing and then kareoke... my shy friend began with singing gumbi bears or what they're called. Then my two mates and I started with down under and brave sir robin with a twist of "we are the world" and Sly and the familty stone Play that funky music.
Everyone was happy drunk and funny so we had some more drinking songs and drank up and went to watch the fireworks in the city. On the way there we took some shots from our bottles of vodka and then my friend threw the bottle through a window.
We watched the fireworks start and it was beautiful... we congratulated, clapped our hands and aahh and ooooohhed alot. Then I ran away and hid the vodka.
Now stuff really began to pick up. My friends and I went to a carousel called joyride. After one of my friends jumped up on a car and down we stood in line and there were some dudes who got ahead in line... my friend and I were pissed so we agreed we should pick a fight... my friend hit one in the back and he turned around. We started to accuse them of getting ahead in line and stuff like that. Just when the fun began my friend hugged one of them because he had a "hug me" T-shirt.
Anyway.. we went in the carousel and sang very loud while I was squished to the side very hard.. felt like a bone were about to pop.
After the ride I tossed some balls at some cans and won a foot. Then we went and got the vodka and drank some more while we walked around. I picked up a girl and got her number* Then we had a group drinking and emptied the bottles and went to another ride. He was from romania so we talked about dracula with him and he was cool. We got like double the ordinary time in the ride because he seemed to like us. While we rode we sang alot... or rather screamed songs...
After the ride I won another foot and approached a chich who had a boyfriend. About five minutes later I picked up another.
I walked towards the girl with my newly won foot and told the girl my foot liked her so I had to talk to her. But I said I was in a hurry so it would be cool if I could get her number and call her up and go do something. Got her number within one minute**
Then not so much stuff happened. we sang some more and I talked to a policeman with a batoon. Ohh.. some girls approached me and it was pretty fun... got her number too.
* She was almost estatic when I called today... definitly will have a good time with that girl
** I think it's 50/50 with this girl. I got the approval from her friends because they walked away a little distance and left her alone when I talked to her. So I have some chance.
The third girl I'm meeting up with at some time... don't know nothing yet..
fun evening though. When I came home I cleaned my toilet.
big deadlift goal you have there.
funny story man, your friends sound fun as well!
ROFL!
good job with the PUA'ing too. i love it when you use the word extatic, never heard it from anyone else i think, im gonna implement that in my own choice of words
GREAT JOB with the toilet cleaning man, and that in the middle of the night! the mess has now chance!!
My friends are the ****... great people to party with. They do however don't like that I hit on women so blatantly haha
Thanks dude, it was a while ago I did closes in the open. Use extatic it's a cool word as you say. I never have heard other people use it either. It can be our thing you know.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Thanks vanwilder and gav. Gav, no dude.. I'm not lifting to compete.
My alltime record is 4x39 kg =D"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
