"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.

I'm trying to find a pair of shoes that I can wear with black pants.

Not dress shoes through although i'm looking for a good pair of those also

Any ideas or examples
 

"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.

What kind of black pants would you wear that wouldn't call for dress shoes? Black jeans? Get a pair of Merc bowling shoes. www.merc-clothing.com

If they are dress pants, get a pair of white dress shoes. Check out this month's issue of GQ. The look disgusted me at first but it's kind of grown on me enough to want a pair. :(

I too wonder what kind of black pants you have that aren't dress pants. I just sported a pair of black dress pants to an inteview and I wore brown shoes too it. I nailed the inteview, but then again it's the man that makes the clothes.

But really what kind of look are you going for? What kind of pants are these? Slacks? Jeans? Kahki? Cargo? Details please.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Unless it is a sure thing in the lateast fashion, I would never even think about bowling shoes...

I'd suggest to go look for shoes that are semi-dress shoes. I.e. you like the style, they are dressy, but not exactly fancy dress shoes, or traditional dress shoes.
I like slip on shoes in general and I ususaly for them in different store. Dont expect to buy shoes in the very first store you go to.
Visite at least 3-4 stores, see what they have and what you like.

And, some people would say only black shoes would go with black pants. I personally dont like anything black... but still wonder, would some dark borwn shoe go with black pants - how acceptable is it?

I have two pairs of shoes: white and black.

I use them with anything and nobody ever comments negatively.

Try that out. :D
 

"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.
