"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.

LOL! Some of you guys should try this. Funny clip.

George comes to the realization that he should try to do the opposite of everything, so he does, his luck changes and everything begins to go his way including getting a girlfriend, a job with the Yankees and moving out of his parents' house. Things begin to be unlucky for Elaine after she buys a box of "Jujyfruits." Kramer appears on Regis & Kathie Lee to promote his coffee table book. Rachel wants to break up with Jerry and he readily agrees, because his luck has been "even Steven." Elaine's eating of "Jujyfruits" causes Pendant Publishing to go under, and later she realizes that she and George have traded places.
 

"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 love this episode of Seinfeld. It's a trip man. I actually did this one time.
In the past,I was just the typical nice guy and whenever I did approach a girl with my "niceness",of course I got turned down. So one day I decided to just try something different. I figured what did I have to lose,what I was doing wasn't working,so if I do something completely different,something so completely off the chart and it still doesn't work,what difference would it make? So the next time I approached a girl,instead of doing my usual "nice guy" thing,when I approached a girl at a counter while checking out my groceries,this is what went down:

me: You don't have a ring on your finger,good. So when are we going out?
her: I have a boyfriend.
me: (in a stern voice) I DIDN'T ASK YOU IF YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND,I ASKED YOU WHEN WE'RE GOING OUT.
her: Well,I'm going to (name of a club) tonight.

Man,I was shocked. I was so taken back,I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe that worked. In fact,I was so dumbfounded,it knocked me back into "afc mode",and of course,I screwed it up. However,I did learn a lesson that day. Be willing to branch out and try new things,things that you would never in a million year even dream of doing. If you have "zero" now,then you try something different and it still doesn't work,you won't have lost anything,but you will have gained a little more knowledge on what not to do.

Cool thread man.

A better place, a better time.

That rules dude, I like it. Trying new things for progress is great.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
