So, when that moment of silence hits in the middle of a conversation, what exactly do you guys say/do?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.

:rockon: great advice.hyperactive said:When the conversation runs dry kiss her. Simple as that. If you have to work to keep the conversation going then you are not compatable as anything more than a lay.
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.
Dude, that's amazing...you just described my ex GF to a tee... I didn't realize that I couldn't hold a MEANINGFUL conversation with her until I was in too deep...hyperactive said:B. The kind who likes to chit chat about mundane things, how her day went, etc. She may be a decent listener, or may not. The conversation may go both ways or be one sided but there is a noticable lack of uncomfortable silences between you and her. This type of woman goes best with guys who are not that smart. Otherwise, if the guy is reasonably intellectual, he will have to suffer through alot of idle banter to get laid on a regular basis. These are the kind of women that do not get better with age, meaning the age of your relationship, not her age. As one begins to date her she may seem fun, for she is bubbly and optimistic. But as time goes on the excitement wears off and she starts to just become annoying.
The content of your conversation or story doesn't matter at all. Its only the presentation that's important, its how you actually talk that makes it entertaining. what you really have to do verbally is just to bull**** about anything you want. you know, I think its ok if you even talk about weather and politics, IF you can manage to do it in a playful way. ANYTHING works, as long as you make it interesting and colorful. and the important part in charming people isn't the content of what you say, its what you are indirectly communicating with your gestures and tone of voice. you want to appear as a cool and confident guy who knows what he's doing. that you can't talk about. no. that should be implied in HOW you present your bull****.space said:i need help making conversations, and storytelling. i have 0 storys to tell that that i think will keep people entertained, and i find it really hard to talk to people as i feel ive nothing interesting to talk about, only the simple boring stuff. because of this i find that i dont even attempt to talk to people anymore apart from my own friends.
how can i improve? i need huge help
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
