"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.

Hi,

Remember I posted awhile back about losing that girl's number within a matter of minutes *smacks forehead...* Anyway, I've been meaning to go and talk to her but, haven't had the time to. She gave me her cell # but, I just checked the phone book and seen her home #. Should I call her or would it look stalker-ish? She gave me her cell #, not her home # :confused:. Should I call and say that I misplaced her number and I just looked her up in the phonebook? Is that wrong?

*I really like this girl but, would this look weird from her point of view?
 

"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.

I'm guessing you misplaced her cell number, from the sounds of it. While it is creepy that you looked up her number in the phone book (how'd you remember her first and last name but not her number?!) you could always play it off as if she gave you the house number instead.

"Huh? This is your house phone, and not your cell? I don't know what you're talking about - this is the number you gave me... how drunk were you that night?!"
 

"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.

just tell her that your phone broke and that you lost her number, easy as that

However, if there is no chance you will ever see her again then just call it is better to be rejected then to regret

Hello

If her number is in the phone book, it is a public number. If she didn't want anybody to use her home phone number she would have it unlisted.

Just call her and tell her that you lost her cell number. She probably wont mind. If she does, she will find a way to tell you and that will be the end of it. There is no matter to worry.

....I'm thinking f*ck it, I'll go see her after class :rockon:. Just grab my balls and go see her. The thing is I feel a little awkward I mean, just drop by and say 'Hi, haven't seen you in a while...blah blah blah...' (I asked for her cell # early last month and haven't seen her around since).

dont tell her anything, making excuses up is weak, it shows weakness if you need to come up with an excuss for finding her number! She is only going to make a big deal of it if you do, so just dont mention it and she wont either!
 

"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.
