"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.

Hey

I've been thinking up some scenarios in my head and i can see them becoming true. And i want to be prepared.

So you are sitting in a coffee shop with a three thing binder open in your hand. You notice a hottie checking you out. You make eye contact, smile, and say "hi."
"hi, whatcha readin there?"
"its top secret."
"oh really?"
"yes really."
"come on, i wanna know!"

what would you say next?
a. "like i said beb, top secret." and then close the binder
b. "well if you must know, i'm reading a book that will help me pick up women."
c. insert line here
 

"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.

I like that. Gloriously, you have the right idea but I'd advise against using the word "kill" in the first conversation with a woman you've met in public.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

I'd go with b... you'd better be writing down C+F jokes next to everything there though, or they will believe you:p

blitz44, You've never heard the saying before? Try say it like a pirate next time somebody asks you "what's up"

Myself, "Oh, nothing that you would understand" "why? Because your a girl, *swipe hand over head* right over your head"

That way your playing on her last words "oh come on I wanna know"

I gave you credit and said that I like your idea. Then I said, as a seperate idea, that Gloriously's idea was good too but he should avoid using the world 'kill'. I should have broken the paragraphs up. My apologies. :up:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

in fact, don't use anything that may make them think you are a violent person.

i was doing an approach once, a long time ago and it was going great...

the girl had a little scar on her ear and told me about how her brother hit her with a golf club when they were tiny kids...and then i made the mistake of telling her how i slammed the door on my little sister's face when we were like 7 and 8.

not sure if that was it, but it kind of went down hill from there...

LOL nice story...
blah blah blah "I got it from a golf club when I was a kid"
'OMG REALLY WOW!!!! I SLAMMED A DOOR INTO MY SISTERS FACE!!!! ROFL!!!"

awkward silence for two minutes while you never beak eye contact.

"DOOR IN HER FACE!!! ROFL!!!!"
 

"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.
