"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.

Just what to let you guys know that this site is awesome and has helped me a lot and monday im goin back to school and ready to meet some hot chicks. The last quick question that I need to know is how long is it good to do the Attraction and Qualification stage in HS. It is recommended that the attraction stage should be 2-10 minutes and the qualification stage the same. But im asking you guys...how long would you do each stage??
 

"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.

I wouldn't focus on the amount of time it takes but quality of the attraction and how extensive your qualification criteria. A lot of guys will qualify by just two things;
  1. Is she attractive
  2. Is she interested
This is why guys get hooked up with women they deem as psycho. No, you don't need to get their psychological medical history but come on, it takes more than a pair of nice tits in order to tell whether a woman is a game player.

This isn't linear nor is it any time frame...

This stuff comes down to calibration and should also be mixed around depending on the situation.

If the chick already has her attention on you, giggling and still standing and interacting with you then attraction is already done. In this case there isn't much stuff needed to be done as far as attraction go.

If the chick was locked up and being very unresponsive, you'd be in attraction and could end up being in attraction for hours depending on how unresponsive she is. Though most guys will eject 2mins after they realize she's unresponsive because they don't like what's going on in the set.

If a chick was already attracted you could skip attraction and just qualify a chick, most chicks who I know is already attracted...(Seems to be every chick lately) I always qualify them right off the opener.

For me it's all about not overgaming and always moving the set forward. To do attraction stuff when you've already got attraction is an overkill and will push the set backwards. Thats not to say you can't do attraction stuff, it just means use it when it's needed.
