"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.

In High School it's pretty easy to settle in the whole clique thing. It's even easier to only talk to the "hot" chicks. I can imagine that out of your entire high school, you only know a very small percentage of people. Most of it is due to laziness. We feel we have "plenty" of friends, so meeting new ones is a waste of time. We come up with a number of excuses.

So i challenge you to all go out and make a few new friends. Talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to. Sit at a different lunch table. Don't limit yourself to the blazing hot chicks either. Talk to everyone!!!

How about the people you already know? Talk to them more. Learn something you didn't know before. Find out where they were born, what they love, who they love, etc. Don't limit yourself to the usual and incredibly immature high school gossip that plagues lunch tables.

So that's my challenge to you, not only learn more about your friends, but make new friends. Never stop meeting people and never limit yourself. Hope some of you out there know what i'm talking about :D
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Making new friends is a very good thing. I would recommend highly to those who need help with women to make friends with guys who have dated a hot chick before... Because it probaly means the guy is experienced and you might learn alot from him... Also, he can be a useful wingman ... Not the one who will follow you around though, of course.
Making friends who are girls is also good... Becoming very good friends with girls is VERY good... They are useful for finding out things where guys aren't allowed especially in the gyms.

Great post. I think when we all starting becoming more social, we only saw it as a means to an end ("I'll put in this work talking to people so that I can get the reward of hot chicks"). It was just a means to an end.

Now, of course, we know talking and having fun is something we love to do for its own sake. Making new friends is always great, even if they are UGs or arthritic old men.

"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.
