"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 is the best point and shoot digital camera for taking photographs at concerts? I'd like it to have a lot of zoom for concerts that are in the larger arenas, although it would mostly be used in smaller venues.

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 really want to get into concert photography. I currently have an Olympus E-520.
Is this a good camera to use? What lense would work best for concert photography with this camera?

The most important thing, is to know the rules and what will the venue.But to ensure you will be allowed to take your camera into the venue is that the camera should be small and easily fit on your handbag or coat pocket.

Fuji Finepix X10.
This camera is good for taking images in low light conditions. The superior build quality should help the camera to survive the rough and tumble conditions.
