"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 are your favorite guitar solos?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I like the ones that get to the point, and don't overstay their welcome. A few that come to mind are:

Roger MCGuinn (Byrds): "Eight Miles High," and especially "Thoughts and Words" (most frighteningly intense backwards guitar solo I've ever heard)
Dave Davies (Kinks): "I Need You," "Til The End of the Day"
Pete Townshend (Who): "Our Love Was," "Young Man Blues" (London Coliseum, 1969 version on The Kids Are Alright film)
Dave Gregory (XTC): "Ball and Chain" (actually an ensemble w/Andy Partridge, most likely).
Roy Wood (Move): "The Last Thing On My Mind" (brilliant overbubbed ensemble)
Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention): "Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman"
Robert Fripp (w/ Bowie): "Heroes" (w/King Crimson): "Starless" (both nothing in terms of notes, but devastating in terms of musical sense) (w/King Crimson):"Epitaph"
Martin Barre (Jethro Tull): "Aqualung," "With You There To Help Me".

And yeah, Hendrix and Clapton (early on) knew how to jam without too often falling into drawn-out ass-wanking.

A few more that come to mind:

Will Sergeant (Echo & the Bunnymen): "My Kingdom," "The Killing Moon"
Emma Anderson (w/Lush): "Kiss Chase," (w/ Sing-Sing): "Tegan"
Justin Clayton: "Miles Away"
George Harrison: "Something"
James Williamson (Stooges): "Search and Destroy"
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
