"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.

Been seeing this girl for a little while. Things are going pretty well, there's only one major problem.

She's a HUGE snob. And for me it's not a problem that she wants to go to art galleries and nice restaurants; I'm fond of those things myself. The trouble is that all of my friends and any place I like to go to that isn't super-chic is instantly labelled 'sketchy' and beneath her concern. That includes used-record stores, good inexpensive restaurants, most parts of town, and even public places like Harvard Square.

I'm literally amazed by some of the things that she says; like "You can't go to these places just because you want to; what will people say?" or "If most people say something is sketchy, i can't go near it".

Advice?
 

"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.

my advice is to go to the "sketchiest place" you can find in town, and **** her then and there...

Thanks; a crack house might be a bit much.
 

"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.

Just convince a bunch of people to start declaring her favorite places are "sketchy" or at least someone she looks up to. Then she would either listen to her friends and never go anywhere, because someone said it was "sketchy" or she would eventually be forced to just try something out even if it was "sketchy".
Aside from that, I'm an artist myself, and I can assure you Art Galleries are "sketchy"...I mean, c'mon...that's what artists do! Hello!

take her on a surprise date to the ghetto, then leave her there
