"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.

I'm gonna do it tomorrow.. I'm gonna do my first approach. But I'm nervous as **** still about 1 thing that was my main fear.

What kinds of things do I say? I mean, jokes, whatever comes to mind, etc. What do I say after hi?

I don't want routines, please, I really don't like the concept of that. Just a theme, please. What has worked best for you?

Thanks
 

"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.

"Hi, what's up" or "Hey, how's it going" they work wonders. Don't talk to a girl for the sake of talking find something to talk about otherwise you get those silent awkward pauses, if anything when you get those eject and find something else to do. Nothing to be nervous about unless you have oneitis that will trigger nervousness. Ask yourself "whats the worst that can happen" and be realistic, no you won't get a gang of boys chasing you so just chill.

I used to have this problem. What I do is comment on things that are going on around me. Like the weather, or maybe something you noticed she was wearing that you found unique. Don't try to think of something random because everything you need to talk about is staring you in the face.
