"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.

What do you think of the new law curbing this practice? Personally, if someone was snapping shots of me, I would be flattered at the very worst.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Can you post a link to this law, and tell us a little more about it? I for one have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about.

juan man, I am not familiar with the law either.
BUT you're at a busy beach on a hot day. You'll no doubt see a young boy or girl in the nude. drying off after a swim in the beach.

*SNAP*

pedophile has stolen an image of that child and can do as he pleases with it. Not only is it disgusting, it should be illegal.

Taking a snap with a phone is much more discreet then a camera. -unless its with one of those super spy cameras diablo has and you can be out on a boat... i'm rambling and off topic.

Theres alot of problems with camera phones. But theres a lot of problems with alot of things.

unfortunantly, a law won't stop anyone who wants to violate that law.

"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.

I agree with the law. It isn't right to snap photos of people, especially if the photo is to be used for nefarious purposes. The idea of some pedofilia going to the swimming pool and taking shots of kids in the showering room isn't really my cup of tea.
