"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.

"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.

Its a continuation of the world's greatest keyboard the IBM Model M now known as the Customizer 104/105 under its new production company Unicomp.
The thing is an engineering marvel though it is noisy to type on.
Its noisy because of its buckling spring technology which gives an excellent tactile response for each keystroke and helps to prevent people from making errors compared to today's modern rubberdome silent keyboards that are easy to type on but also just as easy to press a pile of extra keys causing you to mess up and take longer typing something out than you would of otherwise.
A few weeks ago I bought a Yamaha PSR-E213 keyboard for about $125 with it's "survival kit" which includes a power adapter, headphones, and a foot pedal. (The headphones suck.) It was the lowest-end keyboard and works great. For you, it is programmed with 102 songs to learn, 100 styles of music, and 375 instruments/sound effects (e.g. guitar, saxophone, synth lead, percussion, drum kits, etc).

Of course, if you're just looking for something to mess around on, go for the cheaper Yamahas like Deep Dish suggested.
"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.
