"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.

Ok so this past week this girl adds me on myspace and she is fine. I say something vague on one of her pictures and get her to start talking to me. She tells me I'm adorable, but what should I take from that? I ended up getting her number, but here's the real problem: I'm kind of shy. These past few weeks I've been way more comfortable in social situations, but there is still quite a bit of work. I struggle having a conversation with everyone, and its usually short. Like when I talk with people, they usually start the conversation, but the topic keeps changing quickly. So what I'm really asking is probably like how can I improve my conversational skills? This girl is finnnneee and improved conversation skills would be great.
 

"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.

Well like I said, I got her number, but I wouldn't have a chance to take her out for like 5 weeks.

Then, what's the probelm?
just game other girls while you wait for those 5 weeks to pass


as for ocnversational skills...the only way to get better is to talk to more people, that you knwo or don't know..practice talking about a bunch of random subjects...and sometimes getting deep into a subject

just talk more..it's that easy

and there are many threads on conversation already...use the search function

By the 5 weeks I meant hang with anyone, which is the problem. I'm too busy between school, swim, and homework, and in those 5 weeks someone else might get her. After those 5 weeks though, I'll have time again.

Another issue is my school's homecoming is approaching and it would be sick to bring this girl, but I'm thinking it would be awkward to invite her and meet her in person at the same time. Homecoming is within these 5 weeks, so I could take someone else if I really want to go.
 

"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.
