"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.

Make an "Approach Journal," Or Field Report Section

To the site administrators or monitors. I think it would a helpful and welcomed edition to this site if you guys added a approach journal/field report section. This section would exclusively dedicated to field approaches and their end results be the results are getting shot down, kissing closing, or f*ck closing. It's easier for the user to have all of the field reports consolidated in one centralized location as opposed to scrolling through pages of threads to field the journal you were last reading. Speaking of approach journals, who has the best ones?
 

"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.

I completely agree. An approach journal section would be great.

As far as a good journal goes, read jon024. Really good. There a few others, but that's my favorite.

i disagree. The only meaningful posts I find in the whole DJ Discussion Forum are the journals and if you take them out it is just b!tching and moaning.

That's exactly why you wouldn't go to the DJ Discussion Forums if they made a journal thread.

Besides, I hate filtering through crap to find gold.

Good idea. As far as best journals, you may want to try another site. We're probably not supposed to say anything about other sites, but *cough* RSD *cough*
 

"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.

I read Jon's and I'm currently on Tihash's approach journal.
