"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.

Let's make a list of places around your town/city that you have had luck approaching new women BY YOURSELF. Obviously women are everywhere, but there are some places that are more conducive to the logistics of an approach.

For instance, it is socially acceptable/not creepy (by a woman's standards) for a guy to go to Starbucks by himself and get a cup of coffee/bring a laptop to do work, and "coincidentally" sit across from a dime and strike up a conversation. This also works well because she's more likely to be away from her friends.

Likewise, meeting a girl on the street is not as good (although possible), because best case scenario you'll swap numbers after a very short period and won't get a chance to build up rapport.

What are some other good places to start, OTHER than bars/clubs.
 

"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.

I originally thought this wasn't a problem, but it might be to some degree. Still, how does a busy working guy who goes straight from home to work to home come in contact with more girls? What are some good hotspots? I have a large social circle that loves to frequent bars/clubs, but don't want to date within the group and want to bring girls I've met elsewhere to these locations.

Just thought of this one: busy local laundromat

Car washes. Chicks with BFs don't usually wash their own car.

Really? That's weird.

So you've always washed your various girlfriends' cars?

Not being sarcastic. I'm seriously curious.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
