"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.

Well last night i was wondering, does nlp work in other languages. I mean I'm portugueses and with most people I talk portuguese, now I'm wondering since the way our sentences are arranjed is the whole NLP system just going to be useless if i try to translate it to the closest term that exist in another language?
 

"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've practiced NLP in Italy a few years back and it worked just fine. Do a bit more research on what NLP is really about and you'll find out that it has no direct relation to language. It can easily be used by a practitioner as long as s/he can effectively communicate with their client.

Yeah, I undestand the concern. When I speak in romance languages I find NLP to be less effective. I usually go with TNB or SRG in particularly stressful situations. You may also wanna try URB. But Just watch some MTV on your HDTV while on PCP. The revelations will come to you in an explosion like an RPG used on TNT in the midst of K@zaam DVDs. G2G TTYL

I personally prefer the NT method, where you JBYS and HANC. It's really simple to do, because it involves no MOM or FP, it's just pure YBY.

Now, if I had to use NLP, I'd probably use it in a way that was more NSO so that I wouldn't FTCO, because that would just result in R. This is a very important thing to remember when doing NLP, and if you don't know this, then don't even attempt it: DCOAACH

If you don't understand these acronyms, don't worry, I wrote a reference booklet on them which I called "The" -- search Google

HTH
 

"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.
