"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.

So I've been getting numbers left and right this semester - had a few dates so far, too, and a one-night-stand the other week. May post an approach journal of my own in the not-too-distant future. One question before I do that, though, and I want to get over this hump first.

How exactly do you flirt from the get-go? Though I've gotten numbers, sooo many of them have been from the "I'm a nice, talkative guy, let's be talkative together some other time" angle. When I ask for the phone number, I ALMOST ALWAYS get a semi-surprised reaction, like they didn't think I was hitting on them. While this doesn't immediately spell disaster, it's the wrong foot to get off on.
 

"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.

I have the SAME damn problem!!!
I get a lot of numbers, but they are only interested in being friends or something because the way you approach? They're nice, receptive, playful and talkative, but when it's time to hangout socially they don't respond.

I don't want more friends! Hell, if I wanted more friends I'd get guy friends or a dog, hah.

Give these women direct eye contact as you're talking to them. They'll know what's up after that. You might creep a few out, but that's the risk of being obvious.

This is the thing, though, when you hit their attraction threshold (be it through status [this you have none of in a cold approach], looks, personality, whatever), they will interpret things as you hitting on them and the interaction will slowly end up moving in that direction.
