"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.

Approach #184

This is last week at B&N. See a cute girl in the travel aisle. I see she is looking at a travel book on New Mexico. I open her on that. A nice 20 minute conversation later, and I close but she has a bf. Dang, I wouldn't want my gf talking to random dudes for 20 minutes at the bookstore. lol Next!

Approach #185

This is at Super Target in the frozen foods. I see a cute girl, and I procrastinate a few seconds. Then an old lady in a motorized chair thingy rolls up and asks me if I can hand her two of the Swanson Chicken Fried Chicken frozen meals from the freezer case. No joke. So I am a good Boy Scout and help her out.

When I do, I notice #185 makes eye contact with me. I then go to the freezer case next to her, and she is lingering and sort of tapping her foot on the floor in an attention-getting maneuver. Hmmm... could it be more obvious?

Me: What kind of food is it that vegans do not eat?
Her: blah blah blah
Me: BS about hosting a dinner where many people will be vegans

We have a nice 10-15 minutes convo. During it, she mentions she had had Lasic surgery on her eyes. After I had pulled the "You're really cute... what's your name" but before I tried to close, I asked her what her doctor's name was. She said, "I don't remember off hand. Take my number and text me, and I'll let you know."

I felt comfortable texting her the same day after such obvious indications she wanted to cut to the chase. We have plans for drinks Thurs night. We shall see...

Where have I been?

Well, since last Fall there has been a lot going on personally. I had some family illnesses, my dog passed away, and through it all was my primary by my side.

However, I still get the nagging notion that I can do better than her so I do need to pick up sarging again. It will be rough and I will be rusty, but I'll be back in the saddle soon...

This was a couple of months ago. I was at a Panera Bread and this chick had an IPAD. I opened her with, "hey, is that an IPAD?" (really clever, huh?) as I walked past her table outside. Pleasant convo, got the number, she never responded. Next!

This is maybe 6 weeks ago. To my disappointment, they closed most Borders bookstores in my area (and in your area, too!).

I was at a going out of business sale at one, and I see a cute girl. Open her easily re: what she was looking at. Very easy, very smooth, and very cool 30 minute convo. She easily gives up the digits. I call the next day (she is moving out of town in a couple of weeks) and leave a message. No response. A few days later I text "playing hard to get already?" and of course I get the response so sorry, she was busy, B.S. Another flake.
 

"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.
