"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.

The other day I ordered a pizza.
The girl who delivered it was kind of cute, and she had red hair.
Now red hair is something of a weakness with me, so I found myself being a little extra pleasant toward her.

Then I shut the door and thought "Oh shoot, I was nice to her".
I guess I should have spit on her and made fun of her job or something.

Oh well.

Whatever happened to Jophil, by the way?
 

"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.

Sometimes I think you're just joking. Other times though, I wonder if you really just don't get it.

Yes, a fallacy of equivocation: the "nice" act as opposed to the "nice" chump. Most here understand the difference, but for the newbie, the training wheels are needed.

Alas, the pizza has long since disappeared.
