"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.

when you able to attempt eye contact, you can see if shes interested.

but What happens when she might be facing the other way or didn't notice you.

can you open her up just like that, without even eye contact?

"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.

What are the chances that she will turn around, look you in the eye and say "yes" ?

That won't get you anywhere, bro. A good opener should have the potential to spark up a conversation, so that you can build rapport and comfort.

I dunno, if I was doing whatever and some ok looking person came up to me and said that...I'd be like...uhh, yeah, I'm single, but you ain't touching this sh!t.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Dude, lets just say, I used something similar to this back in my AFC days (with somebody I actually knew)...and I crashed and burned.

That's too direct. Even if she WOULD go on a date with you, she wouldn't respond favorably to a line like that.

Are you serious?
First off, just say NO to canned openers.

Secondly, if you must fall back on something predetermined, it should be the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of this crap.
