"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.

Here's a few I tried on about half a dozen girls each yesterday, got some laughs but mostly awkward and terrified stares.

"Excuse me, but you got a really nice mouth," - followed up by "We should talk some more," or "can I get you something to drink?"

"What the **** are you lookin' at?"

"You look a little burnt, let me buy you something to drink"

All in good fun, then I got a few numbers winding down the night like a drunken **** at applebees.
 

"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.

Im confused... how was any of that DJ stuff?


"You look a little burnt, let me buy you something to drink"
can I get you something to drink
I think that bold part of the statement is loud and clear to the chick(s) you were mackin on.

The whole what the *** are you lookin at thing, chicks don't respond well to a dirty mouth. Now if you had just said "what are you lookin at" with a raised eyebrow and a sly smile I dunno.

That all being said, props for actually going out and talking to these chicks instead of moping around wishing you did, keep it up. But keep in mind that you don't need to buy their attention, act like you are that thing in their life that they are missing. You are on the high ground cuz you are the selector, the hunter, they are the prey.
 

"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.

Just for fun, I always wanted to grab a 12 back of bottles, a box of condoms, go up to the counter that has a hot cashier behind it, set them down and say "So, what are you doin' afterwork?":D

Made me spray my drink all over my monitor.
 

"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.

HOLY SHEET. Yes! Go up, say something relevent, it can be as simple as (like I have done in a movie store) have you seen ______ movie? 20 mins of convo later I had a #. Just do it. Play off her words, poke a little fun. Smile. Eyecontact you know the DRILL.

umm... livinlifehard... that line is the epitome of sucking.

Cancerian--funny sh!t man, I gotta do this.

OP- Those lines sucked major balls. If you're getting nervous, always make sure you have a starter to fall back on, even if it's not that good.

For example if I can't think of ANYTHING ELSE to say (which is rare) I'll say either

1) you look like you're having a good day

or

2) you look like you're having a bad day

it just depends on their expression. While it isn't genius it beats the living hell out of "What the hell are you looking at?"

this one dude i knew in high school told me to use this pickup line on one of our customers, but i never used it: "you look ok, give me your number before I change my mind." I told him I don't think it would work. Later on he told me one of his friends used it and hooked up w/a girl.

Hey everyone is throwing up threads about the wonderful magic trick you can pull, I thought I'd try and lighten things up a little bit.

To those that are hating, I don't know what your problem is, but don't take your frustration out on me :)

Pick up lines aren't gonna get the whole job done, but if you don't have balls to start a conversation, there's nothing that can help you.

I had a blast last night, don't need to bag every girl you see to have a succesful night.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
