"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 am currently an unemployed accountant that is considering medical school. My biggest fear holding me back is my fear of spinning my wheels for 1-2 years to go for something that might not happen. I think I have an ok chance, but my biggest fear is not getting in and wasting 2 years preparing for something with nothing in return.

I can always take a temporary job and eventually get back into accounting. I am getting kindof old (25 years old).
 

"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.

What country are you in for a start? Do you already have a degree? Any work experience with a 'caring' setting? Is this a decision on a whim, or you always wanted to be a doctor, but something held you back?

I'm entering medical school September, grades permitting, so I know how you feel.

Surely you don't need to give up on the day job whilst applying?

I'm in the same boat as you.. getting older (26) and I want to find a career that I enjoy that can pay the bills. Take a chance otherwise be prepared to be 45 and asking the same question.
