"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.

Alright well this FR is basically going to be like in more of a blog form. So earlier today, I talked to this Meghan girl and it went pretty well. She gave me a compliment and then I said "Well, I'll have to think up a compliment for you" and this one girl even came in trying to ****block saying "Stop talking" but the Meghan girl was like "No, I want to hear this". Eventually I busted on her by saying "Well, you've got cute eyes, but I can't stand your hair" and she laughed. Rest of the conversation we pretty much talked and I'm getting a lot of interest from this girl. At one point she even said "You have pretty eyes" to which I just said "I know".

Fast forward to afterschool and I see Meghan again and at one point she grabs my arm and says "This is my boyfriend". Blah blah, so eventually, I was just chatting her up asking what she was doing and this Ronelle guy AMOG's saying "Why are you talking to my girlfriend dude?" then I'm like "You mean my girlfriend, we go way back" and the Meghan chick just eventually left. Fast forward to even later and I think she said "I have a boyfriend" at one point. Strangely, later she says something and I'm like "I thought you already had a boyfriend" and she was like "Yeah, I thought you were my boyfriend". Blah blah, this Ronelle guy is saying in the background a lot "Man, Mike, you f*cked up man" and at one point said "Meghan stop leading him on". At one point though, the Ronelle guy was supposedly giving me her number but I said I didn't want it. And yeah, eventually the chick leaves.
 

"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.

Bro, you need to come to Northeastern, or Boston in general. Hot chicks here man!! Me and you would do it BIG. Besides, maybe your skillz would rub off on me as well.

Thanks for the comments. But comments and crit are appreciated. Though the girl did show interest, in the end things really didn't escalate with her.
