"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I need some ideas for songs to do at a show my band is playing on the 17th. To name a few we have already...

Seven Nation Army and Sweet Dreams medley, '39, Crazy little thing called love, and tie your mother down by Queen, Hurt So Good by Mellencamp, Take It Easy by the Eagles, Proud Mary and Lodi by CCR, Gimme 3 Steps by Lyn Skyn, Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran, Long Haired Redneck by David Alan Coe, etc.

More suggestions...?
 

"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.

I've got that one down but the other guys don't like it so much, so I'll throw that in at the end of the night.
Keep em coming

hey some new songs that I like and should be easy to learn if you are that way inclined:

Oh My God - Ida Maria (has cross generational appeal imo, highly danceable)

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You - Black Kids (love this song, ideally you should also have a synth in the band, not essential though)

Kids (mgmt cover) - The Kooks (original is all over popular culture atm, feels like you would impress some people in the crowd)

Science is Golden - The Grates (fast moving, chick singer, but I can sing along to it fairly easily)

Fascination - Alphabeat (very pop sounding but fun and will heat up the d-floor, need two singers and synth)
 

"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.

There isn't an age range because its at a nice pub/restaurant and I've seen 70 year olds and 7 year olds there. We're open to whatever we can play.
Thanks for the input so far.

Bob Segar, Strut, anything from the Cars. Ac-dc ala Bon Scott. ZZ-top. Dancin' with Myself is always a crowd pleaser.
