"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 was at the local pub and there was a real nice looking gal next to me - she was an easy 9 or 10. I had to pick my brother up and wasn't sure of the time and she was at the table next to me with another girl (butt-ugly) so I leaned over and said "excuse me, do you happen to know the time?"

She gave me a *****y look, huffed and said "I have a boyfriend" matter of factly. I have a gf and really just wanted the time - I told her, "I really just wanted the time." She gave me another *****y look and looked at her watch. She had same watch as my ex wife - a brighton watch I recognized (I know gay). She gave me the time...

I used this as an opportunity to try my first neg ever... I said, "that's a brighton watch." She looked at me with a half-shocked smile and asked "how does a guy know that!?" I said "I got my grandmother the same one for her birthday."

Holy 5hit, I could see it on her face! Total knockdown! I said "thanks have a good night" and left. I haven't stopped laughing yet...
 

"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.

I don't get it......is a Brighton watch bad?
Haha I was wondering the same thing. I don't think it's bad, it's just that he said he got his grandmother the same thing.

I just googled it...has sort of an old fashion look to it...it's also kind of expensive.
 

"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.

Wow what a b1tch with such a winning personality :rolleyes:. It is often said that the way you gauge a woman's behaviour long terms is to watch her interact with strangers who can do nothing for her. I can so picture her treating her future husband like that.

Good on you for knocking her down a peg or two from her high chair up in the sky.
