"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.

A bit of background info guys, I work at a restaurant with the front end staff which is almost exclusivley attractive females. I usually dont dtae women from work but have been known to break that rule a few times...

Recently a hb8 has started working there. She is quite shy so I have been taking it slow, just building raport. I decided to ask her out tonight. The conversation went something like this..

Me: What are you up to tonight?

Her: Well me and a few friends were probly heading to a club

Me: Well Im getting off soon so you want to join me for a drink?

Her: Sure I'll be off in half an hour if you want to wait at the bar(our restaurant has its own bar)

Me: Sure Im still decideing what Im doing tonight so Ill stick around for a few minutes(there were other co-workers there so it didnt look like I was just waiting for her)

So I wait with other co workers for about 20 mins when another buddy comes up and said that she just left with 3 girls 10mins ago. She never came up to me or said anything about leaving. So basically Im treating it like a flake.

Im going to see her tomorrow at work and am not too sure how to deal with this. Should I act as if nothing bothered me? or should I confront her about it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

thank you

How about not breaking that rule the next time especially if you can physically see the girl more than 5-10% of the time at work?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Next time you see her say " sorry I didn't hang around but I met a hot chick and... well, you know how those things go".

Act like you blew her off and not the reverse.

You put her in a tough spot and you were treated acordingly. Never hit on coworkers.

IF she is that hot to break the rule than quit and than hit on her. Both are just as pathetic...

Ohhh... Got to go the new HB9 that started today showed up... I am going to go serge her!!!!

Well obviously her interest wasn't there. Just ignore the situation and treat as if nothing happening.

I agree, her Interest Level was very low. You could call her on it, but I think that would work aganist you.

Is she married, single, in a serious relationship? You need to find out these tidbits of information so you know what your dealing with.

This is basically the approach I will be taking; acting like nothing happened. I definatly wont be asking her out again. I know that she isnt in a serious relationship because in our previous conversations she dropped hints that she was single and looking. This is why I approched her at work.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
I like turning it around as if YOU left HER hanging. Shows that you're spontaneous, you got other girls going, and you don't need her. Also kinda puts her in her place without her even knowing it.

Its like killing 4 birds with one stone! Heh, imagine that.
