"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Too many times I come here and read the new posts only to find "I wanted to approach her, but I had nothing to say". It's pissing me off already.
I mean, sometimes the people even have the motivation, but I dont really understand how you can't think of what to say. Well, for all of you people, I'm going to post now a simple guide of different places and ideas of things to say. These are some that I've used, and worked for me- in my experiences. Hopefully it'll give an idea on the approach, and some things to say.

1st of all, a simple "hi" will do. But, in the beginning, I guess its easier to ask a question or comment on your surroundings. Thats it. Comment on your surroundings. Whats so hard about that? Although some people may not look too friendly, the truth is- they actually enjoy meeting new people. I got some examples that I've come across.


On the street.

Hey, do you know where the best place to eat around here is?
Oh, yeah, thres this Thai place on Lex.
Oh really, do you like thai? I'm more into chinese.
Oh my god I love chinese.....blah.....whats your name?

--Ok, this has to be delivered right, and it doenst always work because she may be in a rush. However, I've done it. And I got the number, so give it a go.


Bookstore.

Hey, have you read (whatever book)?
yeah! I loved it, you should get it...
Oh really, what types of books are you into?
I like love stories, and I love mysteries....blah blah...

--Then you can lead the convo from there to movies, music, whatever. You can walk around with her after that looking at books. Personally, I love bookstore pick ups. I get a lot of success here. Theres always nice babies there, and theyre always receptive to talk about books.

Cd Store.

Have you picked up the latest (insert cd here)?
Yeah! its amazing! you should really check out their other albums.....blah....
yeah theyre good, you know what else I love, (insert whatever you love)

--Lead the conversation from there. On music stores- There arent always such hot babes there, but its a fairly easy pick up.

Clothing Store. Another store?:)

Hey, I'm buying my cousin a gift for their birthday, what do you think of these pants?
They're nice, but I love these ones(she shows you).
Oh wow those are nice, do yo have any other gift recomendations for a 16 year old girl?
yeah, I think she'll love perfume.....blah....or flowers....blah..

--Yeah, clothing stores usually have the hottest chicks, but they're not as easy as book stores or Cd stores. I've had the most success in abercrombie shoppers, and there are always hot chicks in A & F.

In school.

Hey, how'd you do on finals?
Global was easy, but I think english will be hard. I dont know anything.
English is my best subject!. Tell you what, why dont you come study with us tomorow, I can teach it to you.

--I dont date girls from my school, but I do study with them. They'll generally like to study with you if you know the material. After the study date invite them to stay for a movie or something.

Coffee shops/Eateries.
On line.
Hey, I've never been here, what do you recommend?
Hmmm.... The Lattes in this place are really good....
Really? I think I'll check that out. I usually go with the Hot chocolate though. What do you think?
I love hot chocolate! You know who makes the BEST hot chocolate?....the place on Park and whatever.....

--I actually used this one to success. I also did another one similair to this and got another number. I'd still recommend stores over these though..

Whoa. Colorful. Well. There are some that are field tested by me. Keep in mind, that there are not lines to memorize and spit out like a robot. This post is just so that you get a feel on how to make a comment on whats going on around you, and to talk about it. Apply it to wherever you go.
--Post anything else you guys can come up with!

BTW, Im in Blue, and shes in Deep Pink. My commentary is in brown.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Now, if I'm relaxed I know what to say. But when I was just starting, I wasnt smooth or anything and I had some default openers.

I dont have any now, but thats just because I practiced more and more until it becamer natural. For some people, if theyre relaxed, they still wont know 'what to say'.

Yeah this is good. I don't do well with preplanned stuff. Plus Layla, the women you meet sure are nice.

btw, openers are good. I'd say set smaller goals with layla's openers. Try holding convos for 10 seconds. Then 30 seconds. Then 1 minute...etc. Works wonders

Exactly. Start off like this, and over time it will all be natural and flowing.

You have good maturity for a person your age.

Sorry, that was very patronizing well-friggin-done. Too many people cite this as their major flaw.
