There's this girl who's gaming me in my seminar. Some of her language and comments confuse me. Although I am 110% certain she wants me, I don't really know what she means or intends by some of her comments. She seems to get upset frequently at me. At one time, she called me "egotistical." There seemed to be nothing prompting this. Another time, she gave me a dirty look when my phone rang: "whos' calling you?!?" and again seemed really upset. What is going on with this unpredictable behavior?
"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.
