"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 are your opinions on pretty women who have loads of facebook friends? Do they just happen to have this amount of friends? Or external validation or something?
 

"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.

They are no different than an actress giving free tickets to the theatre where she plays, her 1000+ friends are not people but simply an audience.

The bigger the audience the more the diva get validated and feel like a celebrity.

Keep in mind that facebook for the big part is not about keep in touch or see what friends are doing, for most people facebook is more like a private tv channel to broadcast and sell themselves through a created fake life made of accurately chosen pictures and posts.

Some people know how to harness the power of facebook and use it in their favor.

I am interested in this girl, but I'm reading the warning signs and this is definitely one of them. Probably has low self esteem? Or would she be a narcissist?
 

"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.

I know 2 chicks with that many friends. Both blonde, both good looking. Both crazy! One is histrionic, she even describes her own symptoms to a T regarding her personality. Sometimes we deliberately pay attention to her cube neighbor at work just to drive her crazy. She needs all the attention. The other blonde is borderline. She's all sugary sweet on facebook, but a whiney beeatch in real life. Both use facebook to craft their false images. So having 1000 viewers works for them. It's all fake of course.
