"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.

You guys say EC, then approach, but what if girl is shy and looks away quickly?

It's funny, most of the people here preach taht DJ's should have good EC with a girl, smile and appraoch...which works greatly.

But what if this situaation: You're looking at this girl, and she looks in your eyes and quickly looks away OR you and her have good quick EC by she keeps it for 1 sec and looks away. Then she'll be around you playing with her hair perhaps. This happens cause she's the shy/intimidated type.

And she plays the aloof game, what then?
 

"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 don't understand your question?

Even in your example you still say you had eye contact. But if it's a quick eye contact you can generally tell by their facial expression if they want you to approach them.

I kind of know where he is coming from. I have a woman at work that gives me mixed signals.

Sometimes she will give me EC and smile. sometimes just looks and stares. other times she will look away real fast. Like just today. I was coming out of the mens room and she was walking in front of me. she caught me out of the corner of her eye and looked back at me.

I said Hi to her like I normally do and she turned away real fast. I havent made any moves on her because I have been told she is married. (she does have a ring to support this).

My biggest issue is what gives? I would just like to know for future reference if I ever come across a woman that is single. What do you guys think?

Just like what he said "nothing to lose and everything to gain." That counts as bad and good. If you get dissed, you find out that shes not interested, one less thing to think of. If shes interested then you can work your way.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Like others have said, you have to move forward regardless. This happens to me all the time. One minute I'm getting good EC and maybe even a smile and the next it's like they seem to avoid me (or pretend to because they'll always want me to "see" them) or they look away. I think it's because they like you and want you to approach, but how are you going to find out if you don't take action? Concentrating on signals has left me home alone with my right hand to keep me company.

Just approach man, I'm in agony over mixed signals because a lot of women can't handle any sort of initiation when it comes to guys they like. The most aggressive ones are usually the ones you don't want anyway.

^^^ Getting turned down by a woman isn't going to potentially threaten your life. Bad analogy.
