"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.
AFC award for this football player

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I find it hard to believe that he wasn't in on it. I think they made it up to help him with the Heisman and boost his draft stock....everyone loves a heartwarming story. It looks like it backfired on him terribly though.
This has nothing to do with being AFC. As long as it went on, he had to have been in on it. If he wanted a girlfriend, he didn't have to go off campus, let alone be forced to endure a long-distance relationship with somebody halfway across the country. There would be a long line forming to the right of willing coeds wanting to be with him regardless of how ugly or AFC he is, simply because of his status. You don't even have to approach girls when you're a star college football player. You can't leave your house without women constantly throwing themselves at you. I had a class with Ricky Williams at UT-Austin. He usually sat behind me (when he came to class, that is). Women would go up to him constantly and proposition him. A guy at his level doesn't have to have game, as the women will do the approaching.
He was in on it, either to boost his Heisman chances and draft stock...or as a devout Mormon, he's afraid to be who he really is and needed a beard.
