Fun game....
"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 played Leisure suit Larry?

"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.

Yeah, about 15 years ago. Back then, the computer graphics for the game weren't all that great. I don't remember much about it now, though.
Never played it, but I was into all of those old school computer games. Commander keen, police quest, kings quest, and a ton of other old school sierra computer games.
If I remember correctly, leisure suit larry was pretty controversial at the time because of adult themes and stuff. I forget if you ever got to have sex with any girls in the games though.
Man all this talk is bringing back memories of playing those stupid games with the text parser.
"go open window"
"I don't understand"
"go over to window"
"I don't understand"
"just go to the god damned window you piece of shyt"
"I don't understand"

Those games rocked.
You did... sort of. They all required you to accomplish a certain thing... like one chick wanted a credit card. So you do all this stuff to steal someone's credit card, and then she has sex with you on the beach (you don't really see much, just flesh-colored pixels). But in the middle of it, a crab gets on your genitals and you jump up and dance around and try to get this giant crab off you, and she gets disgusted because you supposedly have crabs.
So you go off looking for more girls to have sex with.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Oh yeah, Leisure Suit Larry were funny games. I didn't play a lot of it, but I enjoyed the humour.
If you guys liked it, try the Monkey Island series.

Oh shyt! I forgot about monkey island! And #2 Lechuck's revenge!! Or was that #3? I forget...anyways, THOSE were awesome games. Playing with those monkeys. Trying to take the grog around before it burned the bottom out of the mug haha.
I just remembered Hugo's house of horrors. A cool text parser game. I think my favourite were the police quest games. I actually have the Police quest collection. It came with 1-4 and 5(swat). 1-3 were good, 4 was a little different, but still fun. 5 was kinda turdish.

LSL rocked. Hated the dude in the alley but the dude in the Quickie Mart ruled!

I only played one of them but the games of those days rocked. Much more escapist fun than all of this ultraviolent, ultrarealistic GTA derivative junk that's out now. I wish they would collect all these old Sierra Games (Space Quest, LSL, Kings Quest,ect) into collector's packs but there is the usual problem of Windows probably not being able to run old DOS games.

Re: Re: Anyone played Leisure suit Larry?
I agree with you on games from the day are much more escapist fun. It's the kind of imagination put into making them compared with today's market; which has little if any imagination. Those games had zanieness and wackyness (is zanieness a word?)
Dude, go to any specialty software store (a place NOT like best buy or circuit city) and dig into the bargain bin with all the old diskette games. There's some real classics.

I recently downloaded the latest one , it comes on DVD btw. And yes I like it, it's a fun game
Graphics are nice compared to the old days and the missions are fun too. You play the role of a college kid and your main objective is always to get some chick in bed But you gota perform all these tricks and missions to do get stuff to make the girl like ya. It's kinda neat. I remember in one mission you have a IL monitor and you have to do dance moves to the beat of a country song in front of this one girl, if keep everything right her IL goes up and stuff. It's not as easy as you think.

Monkey Island 1 and 2 were the BEST--the writing, to this day, is still hilarious, and the puzzles very clever.
And one of the most underrated games of that era was "Day of the Tentacle" (the sequel to Maniac Mansion.)
Lucas Arts and Sierra--good times.

Re: Re: Re: Anyone played Leisure suit Larry?
Specialty Stores that aren't national chains like Gamestop or Electronics Boutique (where the average employees and staff are too young to remember these classic games let alone have them anywhere in the store) have become almost nonexistent so it's gotten much harder to find vintage games.

But they do exist, I would have to drive probably 60 miles to get to one but they do exist!
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
