"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.

Could you guys make a sticky of hot places to go out (and not so hot) you could take thoughts from members from around the world....it'd save some time and hassle.

:D
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

The only problem is, there could be some disagreeing. Some people could say that Hawaii is great, while someone living in Hawaii might not like it.

I think she's talking about bars and clubs and such in these cities and not which cities are the best themselves....sounds like a good idea to me.
 

"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.

OK here we goes:

-Take a poll of where the most DJ's are situated in major cities around the globe
-Categorise each city by continent(as opposed to a huge list of cities), then sub-categorise each city.
-Get a list going of clubs, pubs, general nightspots, give them a rating, what type of crowd to expect there, is booze cheap(hee hee;) ), covercharge, transport.
-Get one or two people from each continent to oversee it all.

:D
