"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.

are you the type that when you walk in the room every one looks round to see what you go to say? or do you have to fight for peoples attention, just to get yourself heard. With me it varys from person to person, some people will listen to me intentivly and shout my name as i walk in the room, with a few particular people i can think of, i strugle to get their attention, oddly enough even thou one of these people iv had laughing for 20min at a time on a regular basis yet countless number of times he said "i think thats the first time you have made me laugh"

its odd isnt it, well i have a little experiment we should all try (i havent yet)

walk in the room start talking to some people and then say somthing like "funniest thing happened at the weekend" then stop and see what happens, do they turn away? or do they prompt you to cary on talking?
 

"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.

There's no way I'm doing this. I get a lot of attention without having to put myself on the line like that. Breaking into someone's conversation and saying something obscure like that is a socil phopa and will probably get me labled as weird. As it is I come off as natural and confident when ever I meet some one. I can usually ad points to a conversation that are on the topic the people are discussing or if it's a dead silence I can start a converastion using the enviroment around us or come up with something that gets the mental juices flowing in the minds of the people I'm with so they'll say something.

Being a socil deviant is not always the best way to go about getting attention. Being a socilite means knowing how to execute a proper socil engagement and come out of it smelling like roses with little effort.

why would you want people to stare at you weirdly? That's what happens whe people act weird and try to break into coversations without introducing themselves, with an off subject. Stairing and wondering is the standard response for socil deviation, which is pretty much what you proposed.
 

"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.

You have too much time on your hands, and not enough women.
