"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.

Anyone have this problem with their CD player?

The CD player is my car (just the stock CD player) plays regular CD's fine but screws up when playing CDR's. It'll play the songs in order if you don't touch anything. But if you want to listen to track 2 then skip to track 8 it won't start to play track 8. It just keeps scanning the CDR then says error. Should I try another brand of blank CD's? The ones I have now are Memorex.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Some CD players are not designed with provision for playing CDRs - guess you need to get an aftermarket unit my friend

Thats the most likely cause of your problem. It will also do that if cds are scratched up.

It could be a number of things. It could be that your CD player doesn't like the CDs that your burner creates. It could be the brand of CDs you use. It could be the speed you burn your discs at. It could also be that your CD player is friggin' ancient and doesn't like to play burned CDs.

Try a different brand of disc, different burner, and try burning your CDs at lower speeds. You may eventually get a combination that works for you.

I find that a disc is much more reliable when I burn it at slower speeds (usually 4x). Also, I find that that generic store brand CDs are garbage and don't last much past a year. I usually go with well known name brands such as Fuji or Maxell. If you really want to go the stretch, you can get professional grade discs or ones that are manufactured to fill a certain need (audio, photo, data, etc)

Again, the only way you can find what works for you is to experiment a bit.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
