"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.

Alright so here's the scenario. My sister wants to hook me up with this girl that she works with. From what my sister tells me about her, she's definitely my type. The problem is she has trust issues with guys. She stayed a virgin until she was 21, when her boyfriend talked her into having sex. She got pregnant and her boyfriend took off and she hasn't heard from him since then. So she has a 2 month old kid right now. She lives with her father and apparently he's really strict about letting her go out.

So anyways, she's really shy around guys, and Ive had problems hooking up with shy girls in the past. I always feel like I'm Rocky trying to talk to Adrian in the first Rocky movie, its frustrating cuz i feel like i can't get anywhere with them.

I've haven't met this girl yet, this is all stuff I've heard from her step sister and my sister. So I just want some advice on how I can finally meet this chick and what I can do to get her to open up. Any advice on this subject would be awesome.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Well... first and foremost, I would think about why you would want to get with her. (Not saying that there's anything wrong with her.... but wouldn't be the first girl I would choose.)

If you want a one-night stand type of thing, I really don't think she'd be down, and it would be morally wrong of you to even try it. She's going through a tough time in her life... and if you would like to be her boyfriend etc... than I guess you can try talking to her face to face and you should be okay... b/c indirect facebook / texting wouldn't work most likely.

Anyways, like I said initially, theres toooooo many girls in this world to go for ones with boyfriends / kids etc ... that's my view anyways. Do

Good luck

Well, I've come to the point in my life where I think I'm ready to settle down and have a relationship.

There ain't no way I would try to go for a one night stand with someone like her. What kind of person do you think I am? lol.

And also I'm going after this girl, because my sister knows me, and from what she says, this girl is my type.

Isn't it a little early to be planning to settle down with a girl you haven't met?

Have you even seen picture of her yet?

She has a kid and from the sounds of it her father won't let her go out, granted shes over 18 but he probably uses her being a mom as an excuse. Granted the kid comes first, but anyway...

I wouldn't bother, cause to be honest, it's going to be a "texting/phone call" relationship. It almost always is when it comes to women with kids, and no reliable and willing sitter. It might seem cool at first, but you'll get sick of never being able to get together cause she can't ever go out and eventually it will just fade away.
 

"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.
