"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.

I need some kind of motivation to go to the mall. I already have chicks who I'm friends with at school and I figure what's the point of going to the mall when I can wait till school to move things along with those girls that are my friends. I just need some motivation to go to the mall instead of just waiting till Tuesday(School is cancelled Monday for some stupid reason) to approach girls at school. So yeah, would it really be worth it to go to the mall today?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The practice won't hurt you, and it never hurts to have options, that way you don't get hooked on one girl from school.

This is one of the major problems you have in terms of improving your game.

You see? You don't see it as something FUN. You see it as more of a chore.

Why don't you take some mates out with you for once?

Well let's put it this way, the mates I do have the numbers of always, let's say, make excuses. Like I had these two friends from track who I was suppose to go see Spiderman 3 with and after all the drama, neither of them could go because they both made excuses. Infact the only time we ever "really" chilled outside of school was when he had a party at his house. The other mates I have, I don't see out of school. Then there's my cousin, but he thinks approaching girls at the mall is lame.
