"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.

Just to let everyone know that my latest cold approach has been a success...I am very surprised that considering this was my first cold approach in over a year that it would be so successful. She called me back today and left a message about making arrangements for this weekend for coffee.

These are the exact words I said to her. Nothing more Nothing less:
"Hi, this may be an unusual question, but you look familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?"
"No, I don't think so but you look familiar too."
"Interesting (pause) what's your name?"
"HB, yours?"
"Manonamission"
"What school do you go to?"
"East coast school, how about you?"
"Inner city school"
"Cool. (At this time she had finished ringing up my items) Well it was nice to meet you, would you mind giving me your phone number?"

The reason I posted this is because I'd like some feedback on my opening line, has anyone ever used this as an icebreaker?

I guess that's pretty much it. I just thought I'd post my results for guys that are relatively new to this, and it's really a lot easier than that little voice inside your head makes you think.

"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.

Well, most people would consider your opening line a pretty cheesy one, and I'm sure she's heard it before. It's innocuous enough to seem innocent, if you say it naturally. Getting the number is nothing at all though! I could get numbers all day.

Is it the real number?

Does she call you back?

Does she meet you?

Those are the important questions. If the answer to one or all of those was 'no' the reason was because you didn't create a real connection with her.

Yes, I mentioned this in my post. She called me back and left a message about making arrangements for coffee.

"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.
