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.
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.

I was out lastnight and I witnessed one of my brothers friends get asked "will you buy me a drink?". He immediately said "sure" got her and her friend a drink and as soon as he turned around they walked away.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Oh my fvcking god!!! THAT WAS GREAT!!!!Originally posted by Pancho:

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.
Few weeks ago I had two girls approach me and TELL ME THEY WOULD. I had the rule against buying drinks, was very hestitant, but after they said that, I most foolishly left down my guard. Wretched horniness.Originally posted by DJ de Florida:
One guy I talked to thought if he bought a woman a drink that she would spend the rest of the night with him in the club.

I read that at fastseduction.com, and I thought it was gold. It's perfect. If they don't give it to you (and of course it MUST be french, no kiss on the cheek), you revealed their game and you reject. If they do and still ditch, at least you got some action.I read this somewhere else... but reply with "Give me a french kiss"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
the best reply so far...Originally posted by ESPN:
she: "Will you buy me a drink?"
you: "Will you give me a kiss?" (The magic formula ****y+Wussy)
Kidding, but replies like 'I liked your pick-up line', will get a good response and the convo going.

NO NO NOOriginally posted by Dave710:
For those who claim to not buy a girl drinks does that apply if you approach her?
Do you ever offer her drinks instead?
Just curious, im still a rookie.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
