"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.

Any DJs in training wanna join me, I am thinking about putting myself through the bootcamp starting August 22nd, because I will be starting school and want to meet many new, interesting women. Anyone else want to do it?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm in. Last time, I wanted to do this, but ended up in an LTR, that I just got DUMPED from after 7 months. August 22nd? Let's get reading. I find that if you start two weeks earlier just keeping your head up and smiling, you'll breeze through weeks 1, 2 and 3, very easily. Let's do this thang!

-Nish out.

I am also thinking of combining the first several (three, I think it is) weeks where you are just supposed to greet people and convo for a few minutes, as I dont really have a problem with this, its just the number close and such I really suck at.

so, are we gonna do this or not? We need some more people to do it the right way! If you guys want to start on week one, we can do that, because we can all use the practice!
