"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.

The Goal
About a week ago I came across this site, and it has really made me think about where I'm at in my life and where I want to be. I've read some of the DJ bible, some the bootcamps and plenty of other posts. I believe its time to put what I've learned in use. My plan is to approach 350 women I don't know and attempt to get the number. In June of 2007 I'm moving to Alanta, Georgia so this will be my target date to reach 350 approaches.

About me
I'm a black, 19 year old male, living in Nashville, TN. I moved here from Detroit last year. I just gotta outta of a 2 year relationship with a girl I thought i was going to marry. I'm 5'11", 195lbs, athletic and about an 8 in looks.

Day One is today, I would really appreciate any advice, criticism or words of encourage ment. Help a brutha out. but other than that here I go...
 

"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.

your ex girl was 5"11 and weighed 195 lbs?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Na.Something about picking up chicks w/ family in the same building w/ you is just awkward.I did get a few looks but didn't act on them.Sometimes I'm pumped and feel like I can get any chick I want at the drop of a dime.Other times I'm tired and dont even feel like bothering.I'll do an approach tom. just to get out of my comfort zone.Happy Thanksgiving by the way, guys.

Approach #1
This past wednesday I went to the mall to buy some shoes with the money I just got from my birthday. While I'm walking my moms calls me to tell that grandma is coming down to Nashville for thanksgiving. She asks me what I'm doing at the mall and I tell her I'm looking for some females. Now my mom is cool as hell and funny too. she tells me to find a pretty girl and let her talk to her. So I see a girl walking towards me, HB7.5. I start slowing as she get closer and she begins to do the same. I still have the phone in my hand

Me: How u doin today sweetheart?
HB7.5 Good, how are u?
Me: Today is fvckin beautiful! naw i messing wit chu, whats your name?
HB7.5: "HB7.5"
Me: Nice to meet you HB7.5, my name's Manchild.
HB7.5: Nice to meet u manchild
Me: Can u do me a favor HB7.5?
HB7.5 Favor? Wat chu mean?
Me: I need u to talk to my moms real quick( i started handing her the phone)
she looked puzzled as hell
HB7.5: well, I guess so.

from there on it was HB7.5 answering question from my mom

HB7.5: hello
HB7.5: my name HB7.5
HB7.5: I'm 22
HB7.5: I'm in college, I go to X University(the same school i go to)
HB7.5: yea he's cute
HB7.5: yep, his shoes are clean...bye


my mom had the girl laughing the whole time

Me: Sorry bout HB7.5 my moms silly as hell
HB7.5: Thats ok, she funny as hell too
Me: So u go to X Univerity, me too.
HB7.5: really, I think I might have seen u up there before
Me: yea u probally have
Me: listen, its been fun talkin to u , but i really need to get going. um... give me ur number sweetheart and so we can meet up on campus
HB7.5: oh ok

I don't know what to say about this one, I might have gotten lucky. i don't think I would try that again.
 

"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'm from Chicago but I was at TSU for Last year and the year before that, then I transferred to a school in closer to home....I found it tough to sarge at TSU. You either gotta be real intelligent, real thuggish, real stylish, or an athelete... Most of the girls at TSU don't want you unless your one of those types of people. Thats the way i saw it. manchild do you agree or am I wrong?
