"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.

Do you enjoy the day? Are you living life truly happy?

I had conditioned myself to believe I didn't deserve to be happy and I was always looking for ways to bring myself down. If I was in a good mood something just didn't feel "right" and I would always try to find ways to put myself in a bad mood because that is where I was comfortbale.

Do any of you think like this?
 

"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.

Overall yes, no question about it. I do have peaks and valleys throughout any given day/week/month, though. But compared to most people, I think I'm quite stable, in that my peaks and valleys are comparatively less in magnitude. I am obliged to say that overall I am quite happy and positive about my life and my perceived future, because if I weren't I'd have no qualms about suicide.

I am considered by others to be negative and cynical when approaching any given issue, but it seems like you have more of a Depressive tendency, which I do not.

I'm sick of your positive attitude, you need to stand in the corner and pout.

Satan came to me and said "its good to smile. It gives you a warm feeling, like the fire. Where you will be spending the rest of eternity, when you'll die." Then I woke up and smiled happily, because I don't belief in fairy tales ;)
 

"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.
