"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.

what do you think? im doing some research on them on www.e-cigarette-forum.com

Thinking about getting the m401 because it seems like the best. According to the reviews...you have to change the atomizers and cartridges kinda often depending on how much you smoke or should i say "vaporize". A lot of people on that forum are saying that they love it....and of course its safer than smoking...

Anyone doing it or ever tried it?
 

"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.

If you want to quit, then quit. I read 'Alan Eason's easy way to quit smoking,' and I havent had so much as a DRAG since January. E-cigs will just cost you a lot of money. I admit, I used nicorrette when I wuit, but I learned that any form of cutting down, or weaning off, just makes you more addicted, because you crave the next fix even more. If you do it cold turkey, there is no more nicotine to think you are 'looking forward too.'

Read this book, and listen to an anti-smoking hypno CD every night,. and you will quit easier. These E cigs, will keep you addicted to the oral fixation. It makes sence to THINK that replacing, and cutting back will make it easier to quit, but that isnt how it works. It's cold turkey, or lung cancer, your choice.

I'm recently trying to cut down on smoking. Basicly, I have this thing that will punch a hole in my cigarette butts. The holes make it so, I'm getting less smoke, chemicles and nicotine. After about a week I'll punch more holes and the cigarettes keep getting weaker and weaker. Then, I'm gonna try and cut down and how many I smoke a day...

This Electronic Cig is something new to me. So, I dont know sh!t about that.
 

"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.

pLaything, I know how you can quit!....














ready?...........











....Only smoke after having sex!!!!:up:

Desdinova, yes you are correct. I read that wrong.


BTW, IAFYB, that will not work. Its a nice thought, theoretically, but cutting down, actually makes you more addicted. You'll just torture yourself for a longer period of time, and chances are, you'll end up smoking again soon. Cold turkey is the way to go. Last year, I quit for several months, but I made the mistake of thinking it was OK to have ONE drag of somoenes smoke when I was at the bar. Little did I know, that I was keeping my addiction alive, by doing that. Think of it as a little monster inside you, that lives on nicotine. If you feed it less, it just throws more temper tantrums, but stays alive in your system. If you go cold turkey, it throws the same temper tantrums, but gradually gets weaker, and then dies. It takes about three weeks to kill the addiction. Cutting down, or weaning off, does not kill the monster, it just pisses it off!

It actually has been working for me. Though at first I did smoke more cause I wanted more nicotine. But, after getting use to less and less nicotine through out the few weeks. I havent been craving a cig as much. I'm also not smoking as many. My co-workers also came up and said they noticed I'm not smoking as much. So, its not just me thats notices it works for me.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
