"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.

Alright, since Christmas is coming up, what all did you get everyone? Then, post what you got on Christmas:

Dad - Platoon DVD, Digital Camera

Mom - Saks Purse (I think that's it...), Earrings/Necklace combo

Gf - Um...Nah, she is on this site...

Friends - One is getting a "Slipknot" t-shirt, one is getting a $10 gift card for EB games, one is getting an "Army Ranger" figure (the ones that are like the ball players), and the other is getting a gift card for a store called "Downtown Locker Room."

So what all did you get everyone?

Please note, this isn't a contest on who is giving the best what, or who got the best what. It's for the spirit of Christmas and giving, so let's keep it that way.
 

"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.

there is this family i know at my complex
who is a single dad and a son and daughter

the son wrote a letter to santa that went into the newspaper with all the other kids stuff where he asked for new shoes because his were torn up.

the sister was picked for angel tree but he wasnt. there were not enough donators.

i raised money and we got him 2 pairs of shoes, socks, underwear, mittens, hat, lightsaber, 2 books, bionacles and flashcards, a sticker/ marker set and a huge remote control car.

then i told a guy i know who plays santa what we did, and he is currently collecting items for both kids and the dad and he is going to deliver it dressed as santa tommorrow evening.

won't that little boy freak out when santa knocks on his door?

i raised $181 for the muscular dystrophy lockup.

and i helped put together something called operation christmas tree at work, where people bring in old trees and decorations that they dont need anymore, maybe they got a new one, and i give them to people who dont have one that live in the apartment complex.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
