"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.

Recently, I just could not give a **** about anything. I am about to grad, couldn't really care, still never had a real girlfriend, I couldn't care, and just **** happens, but again, I don't care.

I don't know why girls aren't that attracted to me. I work out every day, play in a band, have been asked to be a model, dress nicely, and I can drive now as well. And its not like I am the typical nice guy either. I'm not nice at all, a lot of people just say I'm a jerk lol.

Only thing I can see is that, I am not the most popular person at school. Everyone knows me, and I talk to everybody, but I don't really hang out with everyone, go to parties, etc. Is this much of a drawback though.

I don't really talk to that many girls either. Why? I really don't know that many to be honest. How do I get to know more girls who I don't share classes with, or don't have any friends in common.


Somebody explain, please.
 

"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.

You get to know more girls by seizing each and every opportunity to approach and talk to them. Try saying hi to more girls. Ask them how is it going? Start off easy with more girls that are in your classes or activities like the band so you gain more confidence talking to them. Ask them questions...like what did you think of "......" the school dance, basketball team, the band uniform...i don;t know anything. Follow up your initial conversations with girls from time to time....simply say "hey, what's going on?"...then ask a follow up question or for their opinion. You are only going to get better at it and get to know more girls by trial and error. Your failures will be your experience that will lead you to your eventual success because only regret of not trying is worse than any rejection that you will face.
