"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.

How do I learn to speak English in a very sophisticated and aristocratic manner.

I would like to speak like the aristocratic courts in England. Like royalty in a very high class manner.

Please Help.
 

"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.

Look up Received Pronunciation, the program that used to be taught to iron out regional dialectic variation in England and Wales. Then look up "confused dork" for a picture of you.

the aristocratic English is only used for intellectuals in the field of academics research. The real world is full of cut throat people who will kill you before you open your mouth. There is no second chance to use aristocratic language. People use short words, acronyms or syllables to express their feelings similar to millitary language to be succinct in the battlefield.
