"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.

this happens to me....except i get her and then act afc and then she doesnt want me anymore. anyone got some good links to stay DJ once the girl is very interested in you and even tells you that she likes you?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

That only happens if you act like a DJ. It's not an act, it's a lifestyle. Become authentic and you won't have this problem.

Whenever I dig a chick, I'll be doin my thing... then once it attracts her, and I know I got it, I lose interest.

I've let HB's go like this.
Some foolish sh!t in retrospect.

To quote a line from a Deep Purple Tune: "It's not the kill, but the thrill of the chase..."

So you're a f*ck 'em and dump 'em kinda guy. Not a bad problem to have. Who says this is a problem though. If you're 40 years old, I'd say it's time to grow up and get serious. If you're 22, just enjoy laying different women for now.

I think part of it is insecurity. The chase is so fun because we want what we can't have, but once a girl gets to like you, and you don't have a good self image you can think "I'm a big loser, and this girl likes me. So she's a loser. I'm not into her anymore."
 

"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.

You're pursuing romance and thrill instead of a real relationship. Romanticism glorifies the pursuit of the lover more than the company of the lover. Pook says romanticism is evil.

That, and like Francisco said, you have two contradictory goals. Straighten out your thoughts and make up your mind on what you really want.
