For some reason, all of this sounds eerily familiar.... Hmmmmmmm.......ModernSavage said:
"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Here's an article about a guy who outsourced his online dating.
Very interesting and definitely solves the problem of wasting time!

It probably should, it is a similar technique that Style wrote about once. I can't remember where it was from though.Francisco d'Anconia said:For some reason, all of this sounds eerily familiar.... Hmmmmmmm.......

Nahhh, I don't think so. Even though it's similar to Neil's style, we all know that his style was collected from the best things of a lot of guys. Besides, I pretty sure that information has been floating around this forum a bit longer than what Style had published.ModernSavage said:
That guy wrote a book that sounds pretty damn interesting after reading the reviews:ModernSavage said:

That's the kind of life I dream of. I'm going to read this when I get done with 48 laws of power.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's a good book. There's a recent thread somewhere in the forum about it.speakeasy said:
