"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.

Wake up boy!
Stop what you're doing and come here for a sec.

Today we're gonna try something different. Today we're going to sieze the day.

Forget about everything. About being early, about being late.
About being overly concerned, about being overly calm.

Let go of your commitments. Don't log on to AIM. Or MSN. Forget about people.

No, today you're NOT going to open up that hot chick you've been planning all weekend. And NO, today you're not going to spend your time being C&F with the cuties you know.

Today, you won't be the class clown. Today you won't ask the teachers funny questions. Today you won't put up a show.

Today you're going to sit back... and let it flow...
From the moment you wake up, until you go to bed, just f*cking let it flow.

You'll have your breakfast and let it flow... so what if you get late? So what if you have to go to school with messed hair and not-so-cool clothes...
So what if you get late because you spent a extra 10 minutes talking to your brother, or your sister, or your grandmma, or your cool 70 years old neighboor who likes you like a grandson?

So what if you miss the bus? No, you won't mack the bus cutie today!! No way !! And you're not going to meet up with your friends and say a lot of sh!t like you're used to... No, today we're letting it flow...

You'll get to school, and you're not going to say hello to anyone... So what if the think you're rude... so what if they have something to say to you?

Today, my boy, you're just going to sit back and chill, and let it all flow... whatever comes to you, you'll let it flow... if nothing comes, so what? You'll do your homework and study a lot, and get smarter...

I guess you all got the idea. We, western people, are slaves to tight schedules and overplanning things, this anxiety, this mental masturbation of always having to do next, is what kills us. What makes us have expectations we can never meet.

Live like a buddhist monk for a day... and feel the calmness, the easiness of just letting it flow... the universe, my friend, manifests itself in a variety of forms, all of which are the most appropiated to your own self-evolution. So, let it flow... let the waters of the universe reach you...

It may sound passive... but, it's the only way you can learn to be comfortable with yourself... to like living in your own shoes... It's YOU we're talking about here man, and you're going to spend the rest of your life with this guy....

If you can't just sit and spend 5 minutes with yourself without getting anxious and nervous like a f*cking dog, then things are going to be though for you.

Seize the day. Notice the clouds. They'll never be the same again, never, so won't you.
You're not the center of the universe, but the universe manifest itself on you.

Sometimes, we're mere tools of the universe. We're put into places and situations only to serve as tool, so that the universe can get a certain message through to someone who needs it.

So, accept it. Embrace it. Be kind to others, knowing that you're just a tool, and when you need a message from the universe, other tools will come to you without hesitation.

There's plenty of beauty out there, and a natural beauty that is fading. There's plenty of wisdom out there, and a wisdom that is dying...vanishing, to never come back again....

So, what are you worried about, checking out some boobs? Talking crap to some silly girls?

Seize the day my friends, and enjoy all the beauty and wisdom that the universe offers you...because it's all fading...

"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.

Well I already missed the bus, time to do the rest. I suppose it is time to attempt to be one with the world.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
