Hey, guys. i'm finishing college in a phew months, and i'm thinking of moving outside of my hometown, because it's really small, and there isn't a lot things to do What city would be the best dating wise? I can both speak french and enlish btw.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
What Canada city should I move to?
- Thread starter Stéphane
- Start date
"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.

Used to live in Canada, I hear Montreal has an amazing night life, so does Toronto, but i've heard Toronto women are cold. I lived in Ottawa.
Vancouver might be good because it has that coastal city feel to it. I don't know about the mid-west cities like calgary, winnipeg, saskatoon, but I personally wouldn't want to live there anyways.
Also, what the hell are you thinking looking for a city to live in for dating?! you can date anywhere, find a good job that will further your career and self interests, then think about dating.

Well, i'm taking everything into consideration. Everything else is general knowledge that I can acquire by myself, but dating wise comes from people experiences. I was thinking about moving at Ottawa, how did you like over there?Bricka said:

I've lived in Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax. Like a previous poster said, Toronto women can be cold, well they can be all about the money and glamour. Ottawa was a great city to live in, its where I went to uni, I loved it, knowing french will also help you a great deal there. I've never dated there being older though so I don't know what that scene is like.
Halifax is another great city to live in as long as you've got an education or good work skills. You need to be able to get a good job, otherwise you'll be stuck working at a call centre. But if you can get a good job there, your set. The people are very friendly, I come from a small town, and it was like living in a small town, except there was 400 000 people there.
It can be divided as well, there is a rich vs poor demographic to a degree. However there is a great music scene there (good for dating) and a good grass roots community. However crime and muggings are a little high compared to most Canadian cities. I'll allow you to guess why.
That being said Montreal is one city I've always wanted to live in. Its truly a world class city, much more so than Toronto. If I knew french better I would definately go, actually I would like to go anyways, but I've already got my next adventure picked out.
But like a previous poster said, you should be basing your decision on your career, there are women in every city. Get experience, its invaluable, I wouldn't be able to do anything without my experience.

I've been to a few cities in Canada. Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and St. John's. For women I have to say the best looking sexiest girls I have ever seen were in Montreal.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"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.

Grew up in Ottawa and I loved it.
I've lived in Vancouver for a few years now in/around UBC as well as having all my family here. It's a great place, but expensive to live in for the most part. It's a generalization, but a lot of the women here are rather *****y. Obviously there's plenty to disprove that as well.
