"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.

Acne Is a Turn-Off

So I might this girl online. We talked on MSN and what not then met up after a couple weeks. The date went really well she is very fun and we got along great! We talk all the time and I do like her (and I know she likes me) but the problem is that she has a bad acne problem which is kind of a turn off. She is a naturally beautiful person but all the red pimples and such really brings her looks down.

The thing is that I've always had mild acne but I've been able to drastically reduce it due to using benzoyl peroxide. I've done tons and tons of research and I followed the step by step instructions at acne.org and it greatly improved the clarity of my skin. I just know that if she tried the same procedure she would see great results. She's probably just using that generic OXY clean stuff which is only half as good as benzoyl peroxide.

I'd love to help her out as I have an extra container of it that I can give her...but the issue is how do I bring the topic of her acne up? She is probably already very self conscious as is and I'm not quite sure what to do...

I'm sure some of u will just say "move on" or "find other girls" and I already have been playing the field. I've been dating many different girls lately and I like this one the best so far.
 

"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.

Nah man, you don't next her because of a minor, temporary skin issue. That's even worse than that high school girl you were mean to that turns out to be the hottie later, because in this case you know she's hot.

I probably wouldn't bring it up; she'll say something eventually. Then you can share how you used to have a serious problem and tell her how you resolved it. Done deal.

I wouldn't address it yet... even if you try to open with "such and such worked for me", she is probably very concious about her acne and doesn't want to talk it about it...

I also wouldn't let it bother you if she's a catch
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

hate to break it to you, man, but most anti-acne medicines have benzoyl peroxide

If you're really hard-core and you really want your acne to go away, take Acutane. Of course, there's always the possibility that it will kill you. But it helped me alright, and real men do not fear death. :nono:

Trust me she is already self conscious about her self. Don't mention it. I had bad acne and recently finished Accutane course
