"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.

For some reason, whether I'm sober or drunk, I can never remember a chick's name five minutes after she tells me. I think I've gotten to the point where I don't care about them so much that I barely listen or just don't commit their personal info to memory.

For instance, there was a girl I met last night that was named Lauren and I just kept calling her Marie. Hell, she looked like a Marie to me. She still gave me the digits, though...:D
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I have the same problem, try repeating her name when she tells you, and say it like 2-3 times after in the conversation. Dont over do it because ull like like a wierdo. If she is really worth it i try to remember but other times am just like f it

Attempt to remember the best you can....women are turned off when guys can't remember her name....Limit, you can forget once....then write it down...and attempt to remember it.

That is hilarious sh**. Yea who cares what their names are as long as you get the necessary information. A name doesn't really matter in the end because most of the time it won't be remembered more than 5 seconds and in my case about 2...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Remember names has been an issue for me forever. I meet so many people in a night they all kinda blend together. This is especially true at house parties.

Last night I was at a house party and instead of asking for the chicks name and forgetting it seconds later I would just make up a nickname for the chick right on the spot. An example to illustrate:

I was walking out of my car and into the party when I encounter two chicks smoking outside. One is puffing and shivering and they are both kinda huddled next to each other.

Hero: Wuttup, you guys look cold.
HB: We are!
Hero: Well there's a hot and funky smelling house like 10 feet away.
HB: We are just finishing our cigs, we will be in soon.
Hero: Cool.

20 minutes later I see the same two chicks in the backyard. They are still cold. Two other dudes are trying to chat them up. They are laughing a flirting a bit.

Hero: Hey is the Cold Girls! You haven't found a jacket yet huh?
(HBs turn around and greet me. Dudes look a little perturbed.)
HB: No! (laughter)
Hero: Wait isn't Cold Girls the name of a band or something?
HBs: UMmmmm I dunno!
(blah blah blah)
