"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.

"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.

He tries to commit suicide by jumping off a 3 story building.. This guy is gonna have to try a bit harder than that. Try jumping off a 20 story building with a gernade in your mouth and pull the pin right before you jump.

"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.

This guy can't be real. Is he real?
"The whole ordeal left me so crushed I tried jumping off a 3rd story building. Unfortunally, I survived the fall. My legs are fine."
No ****. A few friends of mine started up a backyard wrestling thing a couple years ago and did that all the time. Unless you dive head first into the ground, it's not gonna kill you. What an idiot. The image that comes to mind is a 5 year old threatning suicide by jumping off his bed, onto the floor underneath him.
"The furthest I've ever gone with a girl is socialization. We talked for about 4 months, 9 hours a day over the internet"
Wow. 9 hours a day over the internet... For 4 months.
"about 2 weeks, 30 minuts a day in person (at school)"
...
"Unfortunally she had far too many guy friends. One which she liked more. she decided she wanted nothing to do with me. I hacked her email/AIM/forum accounts and everything else I could google in order to get revenge"
Despite the fact the fact that that is pathetic, he got THIS upset over a girl SOCIALIZING with another guy?
****! Don't send him here! This guy is beyond help.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

3 storeys? That's a fair way off the ground though, esp. if he's landing on concrete.
Wouldn't he have broken bones though?
