"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.

How the hell does one use eye contact as an IOI?

I catch women staring at me, but when I look back at them, they just keep staring. When they do break eye contact, its never the down away type, its always straight to the side. But its normally quite lengthy, 2-3 seconds more often then not. Like they are trying to intimidate me.

Sometimes when I spot a bird at a distance, she catches me looking. Again, they stare at me like a deer in headlights, but then straight to the side, or sometimes down. Again, hard stare.

Now my macking skills are not bad. Got no problems aproaching women. Just hoping to better understand interest level without them flashing a smile or that quick look away like when you just caught them eyeing you out and they know it.

What are your thoughts
 

"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.

Have you ever heard of the *fvck me* look. This is that look. Married women with boyfriends often do it to guys they are very much attracted to. It's the longer deep intense stare that generates arousal.

In Sociology, it is referred to as the copulatory gaze. The gaze that takes place before two animals have sex.

are you saying that you will be in some place, and a girl you don't know and never talked to or approached will gives you these looks, or girls you know?

I never understood eye contact either. Perhaps i'm too conservative, but i always catch myself feeling self conscious about a female thinking i'm a serial killer, for giving her sexual eye contact!
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

LOL, im familiar with that look... But eye contact is too broad... I get a Sh!t load of eye contact on the train but i dont think much of it.. i just see it as a "i think your attractive" look.

Hmmm yes I am just trying to work out eyecontact as well. I'm just a beginner to the whole DJ style but I like what I see here. I always use to look away but now I know to hold for a bit and smile.

I tried this yesterday as I walked past a chick that was in my area. She looked back but I didn't really get a smile I just got a look back she looked kind of shocked and shy.

when you've had eye contact for say 2 seconds, do you smile at them or just wait for them to look away?

I wait for them to look away. Unless they really ugly, in which case, move along turd
 

"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.

I usually walk around with Gunwitch method Eye contact, just undressing them with my eyes, if i find that they are holding Eye contact for more than 5 seconds then I take it as a AI. Also if I catch them trying to look from the corner of there eyes funny thing is they act like you can't see them looking. I don't really worry much about eye contact, when the interaction is interesting I keep eye contact and if I want to do a slight IOD I kinda break eye contact for awhile. Sometimes I don't even crack a smile it just kinda says it non verbally that I'm a safe guy, not exactly sure.

try this guys..when talking to a girl next time- look down, then slowly blink as you look back up at her-now slightly squint your eyes, look at her lips ,scan her face,look up at her then look down,then slowly blink as you look back up at her as you are talking to her.Some may say that this signal submissiveness,
but in actuality is signals a strong attraction.
notice how you feel when you do this
