"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.

Hey You!

My flight leaves out Wednesday afternoon. So if you're still free Tuesday
night, I would like to skip on the movie and do something else. I'm still
swamped with work, and don't think I will finish it all Tuesday afternoon,
which means I'll be doing some last minute things before I leave. So that
along with having to pack for my trip, my schedule is actually pretty full,
but I still wanted to hang out with you.

Anyway, I was thinking about 5:30ish. Bring a light jacket or sweater and
wear comfortable shoes. (just trust me).
I'll give you a call tomorrow after work around 5:00ish and we can meet at
my place. Talk to you later!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

She responded:

LMBO!!!!!

(my name)!!!!!!!! 5:00 sounds good...but, I have my last class @ 6....how about 9 (thats when im out)....or even before 5? I would love to hang out....and I turned in my paper today...so im just sitting around the apt....give me a call when you can...or email me back ( ttys!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now, I'm sitting here wondering if this is a power move. I'm confused as hell. I could very well get off work early and take her out, and I could also just wait until 9. What do you guys think?

"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.

Good work. She'd like to hangout with you, thats why she gave you options. If a girl like you she makes it easy for you. Check your schedule and see what suits you. I'd hangout after her class so we could have a drink or two (she may not drink b4 class) n I'll work on escalating things from there... Good luck.

Definitely agree with the post above.

She's into you, brah! Go for the 9 oclock one; you don't have a class to get in your way that way. Plus you did mention that you still have some last minute stuff to finish at work... congruency at its finest, my brother!

Good luck!

9oclock. Pick up a $13 bottle of wine and do a movie at your place.
 

"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.
