"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.

What false information do you give them? Like I'm at the degree where I don't neccesairly like telling girls about myself, and I remain much of a mystery to them. BUT I do realize that there is a time and place to tell them something, but I also wanna tell them something that would be different then anyone else. I was thinking on the lines of I saved a dying dog that I found in an alleway after I brought it to the VET. Maybe you dudes have some ideas, if so we can pool them together and make a good thread.:up:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Lying is bad, you're not only cheating her but you are also cheating your authenticity. Talk to her about your hobbies or plans for the future.

"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.

Don't lie, lying is bad mmmk. Instead give information in dribbs and drabs. For example:

Chick: What do you do?
Matygee: Work.
Chick: Where?
Matygee:if your a lawyer, say something ambigious like in the legal field.
I'm in the legal field. Why? Are you offering me a position as your personal love slave and valet?
Chick:No
Matygee:I wasn't available anyway. Then change the subject.

The key is to stay as msyterious for as long as possible. Don't volunteer anything.

This is one area I have problem with. I need more work on talking about myself. I think one of my area of concern is trying to talk about your self without offending her. Other tha taht I need to work on topics to talk about and adding humour and excitment to the convo.
