"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.

Does anyone know any good openers and routines?

Or a place to get them?

What I am interested in is reading a few sample scripts of convos or some sort of proven openers that last a few minutes that I can practice and use.

I have a few things I normally use/say, and I have a few funny routines like the cell phone sex routine I posted about earlier, but I want some tips on how to write and perfect my own routines. I figure a good way to do that is to look at some stuff other people came up with and develop or incorporate that into my repetoir as well.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I want to read some sample openers/scripts/routines that other people have come up with and used so I can get an idea of how to plan them out and get ideas to develop my own routines with it...

Yeah...

Well the thing is I'm taking David DeAngelo's challenge of trying his material for 90 days to really make it work.

Part of his material in the Advanced Dating Techniques program is to write down situations and routines of what you would say, how she would react, how you would react, etc. And also to work out on paper some default things to say, so that you're prepared.

I just kind of need a leg up on getting started in this whole aspect of preparing ahead of time and really thinking through the routines.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
