"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 me give you some examples...

You may be really good at opening, but maybe you go into interview mode and the girl loses interest.

You may be really good at getting phone numbers, but then you get ghosted or she flakes on the date.

You may be really good at keeping the conversation going, but you never escalate towards getting physical.

You don't REALLY know what your problem is until you go out there and run into it a couple of times. That's why I'm saying that you won't recall most of the material you're studying because you don't even know what's important to know about yourself yet.
I get it, well, put it that way, I'd say one problem now:
I'm very good at keeping the conversation going while I'm in a group of people, i could even be the center of attention, but when i go alone with a girl my confidence gets disabled because i don't know what to say, i try to keep things the more directly i can so when i I'm alone with girls most of the job is already done and i have to just do simple things like kissing or advancing without saying a word. Of course it limits my amount of success.
 

"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 don't get it...you're saying you lose confidence when you're alone with a girl...but also saying that most of your job is already done at that point, so all you need to do is escalate, which is correct.

So where's the problem?
