"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.

WTF will I do during this down time? I plan on working out at the school gyms, read this Lance Armstrong book and take care of some errands on campus. Should I walk around campus and town trying to create a big social circle for myself?

I've got my own apartment 1 block away from campus, no roomates and it's in the heart of the downtown area ;)
How would you all play this?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Go ahead and have fun. It wont hurt to be friendly and get to know people. You're on your own and school hasnt started yet; take advantage of it.

yea, no need to go out of your way to make things happen. you have plenty of time, use it to get to know your surroundings. but again, it doesnt hurt to be friendly, if you see someone who looks like they're lost on campus (preferably a girl) offer to walk with her, if you know your way good if you dont then you can learn together.

well I moved in, have to wait till sunday to go back, until then I'm hanging at my bro's place. It should be good. I'm halfway through college, so this new school should be good to redeem myself, not necessarily start over. Already planning on attending an event Sunday night.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Finally living on my own now and it's good. I dont live a block away, I'm actually right across the street from the cadets and a dining hall :) and now have the net. Chicks are in hiding lol and I plan on using the gym tomorrow 1st time.

I'm actually 20-years-old and go to an ACC school, not L.T. I used to post under a diff. username. Ran into the football coach today!
