"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.

Valentine's Day Pickup? Openers, etc.?

I'm just wondering if you guys have any good valentine's day specific openers, routines, etc. I know a lot of the stuff is universal, but I was curious if anyone had any gems for this particular holiday. I searched for some info but all the valentine's day discussion was geared towards what to do for/with women and not about pickup.

In my head I was thinking that there might be more of an air of desperation with girls who go out on the town on Valentine's Day and don't have a man in their lives. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking and they will be out for girls night out instead with the same kind of pack mentality as usual (so game would be the same).

So I ask you: What have been your experiences going out on Valentine's Day?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

wow that last comment sounds way too needy, almost like saying do u have a boyfriend. WHo cares, she is alone now and U approached.

I saw cupid tonight and he is trying to hit U witha little love arrow, only U keep dodging him, wondered why that was.

Lol, mine is a natural opener. You sir just used a chat up line that not only lowers your value but makes you seem like every other guy whos ever hit on her in a bar. Its cheesy.

I wouldn't use my line on any other night except valentines because usually if a girl is single around then bringing up that she has no boyfriend lowers her value, makes her self-conscious and chances are she wont want to spend the night alone.
 

"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.
