"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.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! I am a freakin jackass. I finally have the perfect moment to ask for this girl's phone number and I **bleep**ing blew it. I'm so pissed at myself right now. Why God? Why do I **bleep** balls so much? She obviously likes me, so why can't I get up the nerve to just ask her??? I need a swift kick to the face and balls. Who's first in line?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hahaha, man, you care too much. Kicking yourself about won't help. This may be asking for too much.. but you should try thinking of this sh'it as a little less important.

OH NOES I DIDN'T GET LAID. I bit like those last 18x365 days huh? Funny how you've survived that long! EVERYONE knows that more than a fortnight without getting a girl is usually fatal to males!

Do you have a hobby? Possibly a career or school?

Girls define themselves by how well they can attract the opposite sex. Men have bigger fish to fry.

This has nothing to do with getting laid. I'm not looking to simply bang this girl.
 

"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.

Stop thinking of all the horrible thing that probably arn't going to happen, and think of the positive things that will come of this if you ask her! Just as quiksilver's sig says "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
What if hockey players never shot at the net for the fear they may miss and be made fun of by their team mates for a crappy shot?

Just Do It!

My advice still goes. Replace get laid with "have a super meaningful relationship".

Seriously, you can't muster the balls to do it because you are taking it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. What's she gonna do? Punch you?

The only remedy for taking oneself too seriously is to laugh at yourself. Go on. Laugh. Don't you look dumb? Think of how ridiculous it all is. Whatever you want to do to this girl it can't be soooo much better than anything else that ever happened to you. You have a favourite restaurant? You like eating there? Do you ever get totally nervous when you're about to go to this restaurant? What if the food takes too long to come? Maybe there could be some accident and the restaurant's closed? WHAT IF THE RESTURANT BURNED DOWN?!

Come on, slap yourself in the face, you know you want to.

It's not that much of a big deal getting a number doesn't guarantee nothing but if you will never see her again you should've went for a number.
 

"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.
