"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.

What a bust. People just sat there and did nothing. I'm at Florida State, btw.

My first party sucked too. I remember leaving early, before any of my friends did... because I felt sad and lonely.

Don't feel discouraged though, in my four years at college I have been to some of the most kickass parties imaginable.

They're hit or miss.

As long as you dont have to drive, get drunk and play drinking games, they help.

Well lol at parties you can't rely on other people to have fun. In the end, it's YOU who decides whether you personally have fun or not.

Most people are disappointed when they attend a college party because society is constantly feeding us the image of the "amazing party" through movies like American Pie Beta house and it's completely unrealistic. Once in awhile there will be a lot of fun but usually people just sit around glad that they are not alone.
 

"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.
