"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.

Hey guys,

got a stupid water bill i forgot about. 11 days overdue and i need to pay the late fee which is, 'interest of 11% per annum, compounding daily'.

original fee was $635.22

I did the math and I think it comes to $637.33 but I was hoping someone could double check this for me.

Cheers.
 

"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.

I wish I learned that in high school lol. I learned it in university. The course was Engineering Economics. We covered present value, future value, internal rate of return, and all that stuff. That was a very useful class.

When I bought my latest car, the finance lady looked at her computer screen and told me the payment amount. I wanted to confirm that her number was correct. I quickly derived the loan payment formula on paper using geometric series, and then I calculated the exact the payment amount in front of her. Her jaw dropped, and she asked me if I needed a job LOL.

"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.
