"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.

My goodness. I just did a little holiday shopping and the mall was packed. I mean, tons of cuties walking around, most by THEMSELVES. And what I like about the mall as opposed to a bar is that it isn't a total sausagefest. Granted, I think your game needs to be a little stronger, but man this is the place to be cleaning up. No c0ck blocks, no other guys approaching.

What are some success rates you guys are having?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I agree. I personally would rather pick up a girl at the mall than at the bar. We all know how low quality the bar chicks are. In fact, I've pretty much stopped going to the bar because let's face it, those types of girls aren't exactly the kind that I want to take home to meet Mom.

The mall is an excellent place to meet women. I've had a lot of success with cold approaches there. One of the things that works in your favor is that it's usually a pretty short interaction. The hard thing about the bar scene is that once you approach someone, you're kind of stuck there for 10 or 15 minutes with a drink in your hand. In the mall, I can grab 4 or 5 numbers in less than a half hour and I'm out of there. Pretty quick work.

EXACTLY. Plus, there's always a shortage of hot chicks at the bar but the mall's a different story.

Land of slow.
Malls are the best

I once had a girl invite me to a party at the mall she didn't even know me. She was pretty too and I got her # :yes:
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

that's good, though. Their ***** shields will be down, whereas in a bar or club it's way easier to get blown out

I do direct approaches in the mall (saying I found her very attractive/hot and I felt compelled to come over and talk) but almost always they walk away. Or I try opinion openers at the foodcourt but get ****blocked. I want to hear what works.

I just started cold approaching in the mall. I got 2 rejections this week. One from a hot blonde that told me she already had a boyfriend. Another, was a sales girl at Sears that refused to give me her number after I approached and introduced myself to her.

Do any of you have a good routine for mall approaches? I've just been approaching and asking if they were single. If they are single I'll introduce myself and attempt a number close.

I live in Tampa Bay, and International Mall is THE spot
Yes, nice place. I used to work in the 'International Plaza' office building next door.

I think that the guys who are having bad luck are being too obvious. The worst thing to do would be to stand in one place and walk up to every attractive woman that went buy with a canned line, like you're selling newspaper subscriptions. Women want to think you're the hero of the romantic comedy storyline that they're constantly spinning in their heads; that guy never goes to the mall to hit on women. It's always a chance encounter, sudden chemistry, and then one thing leads to another. Don't be obvious, and it lets them have that fantasy.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
