"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.

just the other day, i had a letter pinned on my door that my apartment and everyone else is getting bug traps set up to see if we have an infestation. a week ago i noticed a couple of small little bumps which looked like a couple of mosquito's bites and thought nothing of it because when you have a allergic reaction to such things as simple as laundry detergent, i thought nothing of it. but when my kid and wife had the same bumps too something was up.

then we got the note on the door and i am kinda grossed out. i am not pointing the finger at people but this is an immigrant building which i chose because most people that come from other countries are nice and keep to themselves and don't complain. but we do have tenants who go with the saying of "one man's trash is another man's treasure" and you see them going through the dumpster salvaging anything from furniture to electronics, etc.

the unfortunate thing about that is....what they bring into their apartment might be infested with these vile creatures. the sad thing is that they don't just stay in one place...they move from apartment to apartment and i think they invaded mine too. i looked for the little beasts today and haven't found any yet but from looking up information on these pests...they are hard to get rid of.

i am glad i live in canada because yesterday i played videogames with all the windows open and it was freezing in here. it's said they die at temperatures of 32f or 0 and this place was colder than that. but they probably migrated into someone elses warm place.

anyone else ever deal with this sort of thing? i don't care if i have a signed lease cause i will break it and move somewhere else if we have those little beasts. i'll just move all my stuff into a storage room and the canadian cold will freeze them to death.
 

"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.

Bedbugs are back, the problem isn't exclusive to socioeconomic divisions.

The same thing is happening here in the states and they are putting used furniture stores out of business (aren't they always out of business anyway?) with all the warnings regarding used furniture.
