"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 everyone!

Heh.

There's this girl who works at Safeway in whom I'm pretty interested. I haven't talked to her yet, and that's why I'm writing.

Can anyone give me some examples of what to say to her?

Whenever I'm there I just draw a huge blank. I think I'm putting too much pressure on myself to say the right thing, but when I'm there, I have absolutely no ideas.

It doesn't help that I already feel like a pretentious ass for hitting on a girl at her place of work.

Please help me out. I just am not feeling creative with this one.

Thanks.
 

"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.

"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.

You guys are right. I know it's not a big deal. And truly, hitting on girls, and even just talking to them, is really not a big deal.

I guess, to be a little more honest, I feel like I don't know what to say. My problem is that when I initiate a conversation, the girl either looks at me expectantly, with the "...yes?" or "...and?" look in her eyes, and I have to quickly make some sh1t up, or wrap it up ("Okay, well, I gotta get going. Have a nice day!").

I really need help coming up with interesting things to say. Or, is there some mindset that would help me forget about my incessant desire to be interesting?

I guess I'm so worried about screwing it up that I keep myself from being able to think of anything at all. Consequently, my lack of anything substantial to say has me thinking I'm boring. All in all, it's pretty sucky.

The magnum line was great. Thanks Darth.

what is it with magnum condoms? whoever came up with that business plan is a gensus... the product everyone will buy, that maybe only 10% can use.

I mean say you and a female prospect stop and pick up some lube and you have to grab the condoms.. what are you going to say? Naw babe..that's a little bit too big for me... let's try the "extra tunt" trojans over there.

in all seriousness, I saw my cousin, who is all of 5'5 "accidentally" leave out a magnum condom for a girl to see. I will be the first to tell a girl.. I'm not small but I can't fit a magnum either.. It's not worth impregnating a girl over

It doesn't matter where she works. An attractive girl is an attractive girl. They get hit on wherever they are and the quality of men are no better at Dillards or Saks as compared to a grocery store.

My advice - Don't hit on her on a busy day (weekends) or during the after-work rush on weekdays (esp if she's a cashier). She could be stressed out or pressed for time when the store is busy.

Also, don't worry about feeling like a pretentious ass for chatting her up. As long as you're clever or interesting, it'll be an interesting change of pace for her day, and will give her something to brag about to her co-workers after you leave.

Idea for a silly opener (courtesy of some other poster):

You: Hey, do you know how much a polar bear weighs in the summer?
Her: Uh, no...
You: Enough to break the ice! :D Hi, my name is xxxx

C'mon bro, you would actually use that line?

I agree with all the other things you mentioned but still not sure if using that line would be a good idea.
 

"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.

i don't know about you, but I keep a tube of lube around... (is this awkward or what?)

2 reasons... in my life, I have had experiences with two women who had problems getting wet. they told me why but i was either two drunk or didn't care. nevertheless, in case you ever run into a woman with a moisture problem.

hoiwever more importantly, in case you want to use the other exit.....:up:

"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.

Hey, height means ****. I'm 5ft 8 and fit into them like a glove.

But yes 97% of men need not try.

well i'm not an 15 year old kid when it comes to sex. Unlike seemingly some people here I don't think women still have cooties and laugh at guys who perform oral sex.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
