"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.

Anyway i dont know what happened but it's rare to see him like this.

The last class 2 days ago things were fine, then at the last 30 mins of class he started sitting by himself looking all mopey and down. Usually at the end of class we walk together, but he didnt want to this time so we went our own ways.
I thought he was pissed at me or something so i gave him time to cool off.

I thought today's class he'd be back to normal again, but again he's still down. But it didnt appear that he was mad at me, im guessing something to do with girls, his ex (said he was getting back with together last weekend), or just people problems.
So i confronted him and asked him what was wrong and asked if he wanted to talk about it. He said he didnt want to and ended up leaving class a little earlier than me.

Honestly after that class his vibe got to me and i felt a little of his mood. Bah no wonder people love being around optimistic happpy people. Usually if my buddies have problems theyll talk about it, but he's very closed off to people that he makes communication hard.

So Im guessing at this point there's nothing i can do?
 

"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.

Thats what i thought too, drag him to a bar and get him butt drunk that he spills the beans. As i told him, if he wants to talk im always around. Right now he needs his alone time, and that i will respect.
 

"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.
