"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.

Wanted to see how this would work

Recently got a girl's number, and I decided to text her, but not tell her who it was for awhile... and instead just be extremely mysterious. Basically like the secret admirer sort of thing, except slightly different.

I said things like, "Hello, miss. Lovely day, isn't it? How do you do?"

Nothing sexual. Basically, nothing I wouldn't say to another man that is a stranger to me (aside from the female pronouns).

Her boyfriend called me and said she was incredibly creeped out by what I was doing and that I needed to tell him who I was or he'd kick my ass (which makes no sense, I know.. lolol.) I didn't even know she had a boyfriend.

I've now noted to myself "Don't play 'mysterious' over text if she doesn't know it's you. It's creepy."

I'm just thinking... do you think this would have turned out differently if she had been single?

Opinions and tips, gentlemen?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

isnt that obvious that it would be creepy for you to do that ....
Hahaha, didn't realize that'd be creepy until now.
Then again, I'm incredibly crazy. Crazy beyond normal crazy.
Guess I learned!
