"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.

I'm doing this english essay and there is a quote I read on here I really want to use but can't remember.
It goes somthing like:

watch what you think because it will be what you say, watch what you say because it will be what you do.

Something like that. I have a feeling it might be by pook.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You guys are awesome, thats exactly what I was looking for.

Thread over I guess, lol

No siriously, if anyone wants to add anything please do so, i'm up for new interpretations ect.
The essay is gonna be about propaganda, and then mainly about the misuse of words and logic and thier effects. Both historically and philisophically.
And I thought that would be an awesome quote to sum up what I think.

Can I say again, You guys are awesome. Thanks!
