"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.

On facbook, etc. do you think there is any advantage to putting your status as "In a Relationship" even if your single

Does this make u any more desirable when talking to girls?

Does anyone have any experience of it making it easier to strike up conversation because their guard will be down?
 

"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.

Personally I think that's really sleazy, because think about it:

The girl you're talking to will think you're dating some other girl and talking to her at the same time, if you do somehow start dating, will she trust you as much?

She'll probably find out that you're lying. And if Facebook is your means of meeting girls, then ...

I keep that sh!t blank. No need to have women all up in my business. Even took my photos and wall off cause I had too many girls blowing my spot up.

I've kind of wanted to take off my wall. I have my pictures off already.

I just don't know what the reaction will be to the wall not being there. I'm afraid it'll look prickish to people.
 

"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.

Afraid of what people think?

What does that mean, taking your pictures off? What happens when you're tagged by a friend - it just never comes up on your profile or something?

Not a way of meeting girls as such... but girls i know in real life often end up on my facebook (and/or THEIR friends, etc.) so i'd like to know the best way to play it!

The only benefit it has is I seem to get less spam if I put it to "in a relationship" rather than "single."

To be honest I don't really believe in tricks like that to attract people, but then again I've never bothered with meeting girls over the internet so maybe I'm not the best person to comment.

Well the best idea would probably be to leave it off your profile.
 

"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.
