"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.

Im 15 years old and my bone age is 18 years old. Im 5"4 and pretty darn short. I have little arm pit hair and lots of pubic hair(sorry if that's disgusting). Do you think I can still grow? Should I make an appointment with my doctor? I really dislike being short. What bone age does your growth plates close in your legs?
 

"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.

My bone age is 18 years old meaning that my bones are the same age of a regular 18 year old. Meaning somehow my bones got 3 year advanced ahead of my normal age and resulting in shorter growth cause the growth plates fuse earlier. My parents are both 5'5ish and my grandpa was 5'9ish

don't worry shorty, you keep growing until you're about 20. My parents are both about 5'7'' and me and my sister are both taller than them (5'9'' and 6'2'').

unless you're screwed that is, but you can't find out until you get older. My condolences if that is the case.

Yeah don't worry, because nobody cares about your height.

If you can't get over it, turn it into a positive and take up some kind of motor sport.
 

"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.

Eat well, and sleep well.
