"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.

i have a problem menaging my icons. i have a drafting program that i instaled that changed all my icons with cirtan extensions (dfx, dwg, igs, stp...) to it's own icon. I had icons made up for all these extensions and this is bugging me. i tryed removing all the comands under "EDIT FILE TYPE" (folder options/file types/ advanced.) but that didn't work everytime I restart my computer it changes it back........... it's quiet anoying to say the least.

If anybody can help me here without trying to be a smartazz, would be very appreciated.
 

"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.

Hey, yeah.

I don't know how to change it manually... so I would just get a program to do it.

Microangelo works well. As well as "ThemeXP" or "StyleXP". They can both change your icons for different filetypes easily.

Well, if you download it of some shady site, then if might have spyware. Just google for the official site and get it there.

ANd I think it's shareware, or trialware. :)

ya it looks awsom it took one of the "themes" for my home computer (boss would freak if I put it on this one). I made my own icons in paint (i know i'm a butcher:D ) and they work fine, it's just every time i shut the computer off they revert back to this one program...

thanx for your help tho, that's some neat stuff.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Back up anything important before you go balls-out with anything like ThemeXP: it messes enough with your computer's internal goings-on that it eventually makes reformatting and reinstalling your OS a necessity.
