"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.

Well i'm going to break up with my girlfriend cause i know its not gonna work out anymore.

But i wanted to know how should i tell her not to go back out with two specific guys, cause i know when they hear that were over there gonna be all on her ,and there not good people(but she doesn't see that) , and so she wont think that i'm just being selfish. Because i know they are only gonna screw her up and i dont want her to get hurt by these dudes.
 

"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.

Not your problem man. Telling her not to go for them will probably just make her go for them even more in vengeance due to you you breaking up with her. Let her make her own mistakes, it's not your responsibility.

Re-thought it, and as harsh as what Sammo first said, it is ultimately the truth.

I don't think you can do anything about it, mate.
