"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 know this has already been discussed many times, but I'd like to ask about my situation, since I won't be referring just to getting ladies, my problem is with being perceived as a child by both males and females.

I'm 19-yrs-old but most people mistake me for 16-17 (sometimes even 15), since I'm a bit shorter than average (I'm around 5'9) and I have a really youngish face.

Most people can tell I work out even when I'm wearing regular clothes, but my frame is extremely small, so I look like I haven't developed yet (is it possible that I have to develop yet, or at 19 I'm already grown? I'm not talking about height, I'm referring to bones structure): my muscles look really "pumped", but I still look small.

Plus, my face has really young features (I don't even have sideburns, although I have to shave my chin and moustaches almost everyday), and blue eyes and curly hair doesn't help either. I'm pretty cute, but I tend to attract just girls who are 15 or even 13 (I get approached a lot by these girls), while older ones need to be isolated, IMO because they would feel ashamed to flirt with someone who looks a couple of years younger than them.

Also, I'm very loud and outgoing, so most people perceive me as immature (which I probably am) and this doesn't help either.

Any ideas to solve these problems?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'm not sure if you are suggesting bulking or if you have just posted in the wrong thread. If it's the first case, I don't think bulking would be a nice solution: I already look stocky for my height and people can already understand that I workout even when I have my clothes on, so it wouldn't change much, if not in a negative way (looking even shorter, thus younger)
 

"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.

Dont shave, ever. Take extasy at least once a week, and stay up at least two nights in a row. Don't eat. Just drink a lot of water.

I'm 18 looking 25 right now... I havent eaten since 3pm yesterday, and I havent slept since friday night

I'd like to see your pic, you probably look similar to Romero's zombies;)
Actually, I spent a week during my last school-trip, where I got to pass 60 hours awake and then sleeping just 5 hours or so... I smoked everything and I substituted water with Absinthe for seven days in a row.
Guess what? I looked like an emaciated 15-yrs-old stoner...
