"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.

When you invent a pattern that you feel are good then please post it here along with any description to the pattern, what it do and when it should be used. It should have been fieldtested before posting.

Write the title in Bold

The embedded commands should be written in CAPITALS so everyone can see how to speak the pattern.

Please don't post unless you have a pattern to add, this is meant to be a archieve of patterns, not a chatroom. Spanish patterns only!

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I would think it would be difficult to incorporate embedded commands in Spanish, since the imperative verb form is different than the present tense.

My experience with girls in Mexico is if you are American or perhaps from elsewhere they are very attracted to you if you are a decent looking guy that tries to talk in Spanish to them.

I find girls from Mexico to be a little less jaded than American girls. They will accept the AFC american guys because they like it as a change to the very machisimo society of Mexico.

On the other hand I think they would respond very well to the imagery of SS if we can translate it correctly.

I feel my Spanish which was learned in this country may not be effective in SS in Mexico as enough things are different.

The Spanish you learn in the United States of America originates from Spain. The language of Mexico is a derivative of the Spanish language but is more influenced by the native indians.

sure you can do patterns in spanish... I grant you the verb forms do present an obstacle, but that just means you need to get creative...

cuando realices que ASI SIENTES CON ESTE HOMBRE, YO... creo que.....etc.

in particular it is nice that the usted form is similar to the tu command form in many cases.

En estos tipos de momentos generalmente, (el implied but not spoken) SIENTE MUY ENAMORADA...

see how easy that is... and I'm definitely not even a native speaker.
 

"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.
