"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.

Well guys, untill recently I hadn't looked after my appearance

I had nice clothes but my hair was bland and my skin was pale


I went on holiday last week and I coloured my hair which was good and got a new jacket.

So I come back with lighter hair, a tan and a lot of confidence.

I boosted my overall out of 10, from 5/6 to a 7/8 just by a few little things.
It worked though as this fr will show.


I went to play tennis with my mate, and the courts were full up, so we thought we'd go to asda.

I get a coke and then we set off back.

Just as I come out of asda there's a group of girls sat on the low wall just outside.

I hear them wisper "He's nice/gorgeous/insert girly word here" to each other but I couldnt really hear them

Then one of them asks for my number

Hb7: "Hey can I have your number?"

Me*thinking she's talking to my mate, so I dont make anything of it*

She keeps asking.

I turn round and my mate says "she's talking to you"

So I calmly walk over

Hb7: "So can I have your number"

Me"Maybe, depends what for" *grin*

Other/hb6/7: "where are you from?"

Me: "England" *sarcasm*

Group: *laugh* "ooh he's the sarcastic type

So the hb7 is putting my number in her phone and saves it then we say goodbye and I leave to go play tennis


It's not much of a read or a report but I just thought I'd post it anyway to show about improving appearance can actually work but that's not what being a DJ is about.


Yours, The Game
 

"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.

your probably gonna get slammed for not getting her number and giving out yours.
But good job,
its definitely a confidence booster.
But should have talked more, that seemed waaay to abrupt, coulda talked to her more, what was the rush?

Yeah I guess I could have got her number if I wanted, and I do know that's what I should have done but I thought against it this time round, I really wanted to play tennis.


But yeah, the talk did kind of go on a little bit more after that but I cant remember what it was, so I cant post it.


But thanks for your reply, appreciate it
