"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.

Why not just wife a gal in Armenia and bring her to the US? Why give up the comfort and security of the US only to go back to the country that your family left?
Cause he is a romantic guy. He places armenian girls on the pedastal. And the trouble is, wifing a chick isn’t hard, its making her stay committed and loyal thats hard.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

well that would be the goal (wifing an Armenian gal and bringing her to the US) but that's very very hard. Marrying someone from overseas is crazy difficult

You could travel the world for a year on that money.
Forget just the female/dating aspect of it, I haven't seen my sister/grandpa/aunts in 15 years. I'm dying to see them

I have never even seen my nephew and niece at all - one is 7 and one is 9

I'd stick to the one big decision first (that is "To go" OR "Not to go") and then I'd start to plan accordingly.

Do you have enough money to pay for the draft evasion?
I have probably like 8K in my account right now - I don't keep much liquid (I put it all towards investments or paying off my house ASAP). I can generally save 5-7,000 a month if I control my spending at least somewhat. I figure the trip will cost me like 15K total so I just need to save for a couple months.

7-8K for the evasion
2-3K for tickets
2 weeks of partying like rockstars
buying gifts for all my relatives back home and my niece and nephew. Probably give like 2K cash to my grandpa/aunts
 

"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.

Sounds like you can make the trip around July to have some spare cash.

I'd just tell them all that you are coming and start controlling your expenses. You obviously want to go and check how well you will do there.

Remember to get the tickets early on, they might be cheaper this way.
yea I would do summer time. Armenia is beautiful in summer
