San Jose hasnt been banned yet? If he didn't spend so much time trolling he would have been lost his virginity.
"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.
Cutting off tv = Good for your life

Hey guys. Today is my 10th day. I gave in. broke the rules today by watching tv and listening to music. I couldnt take it. The thing is that i was a little sexually stressed with a girl that doesnt wanna **** and another that I thought had some potential just flaked on me yesterday. Plus some issues with work. Yesterday and today my thoughts were racing and I had to slow down somehow.
I do have some insights:
The first 2 days I was having a mix of emotions ranging from fear to happy. Frankly, when i had nothing to do I felt defenseless and lost. My state of boredom eventually motivated my self amusement.
I became more focused on people. Interactions with others became more engaging. I was so focused some times that I could foresee the next thing the other person was gonna say and knew the best way to respond, without really thinking of a response.
From the things they like to talk about and from their worries, you begin to see the extent to which the media filters into people's lives .
The most valuable lessons that I learned:
I think you learn a lot about yourself by having alone times doing nothing. But its hard, and you'll realize that the less you love yourself, the harder it is. You also realize that the more time you spend with out distractions when you're alone, the more you start accepting being with yourself, and this is the definition of self-love. Some people are always taking advantage of all the distractions brought by technology, thse people dont accept themselves.
I've learned to accept myself. The liberation that this brings and the progress to my life this brings is too much to give it up to wasting hours in front of tv radio and computer.
Being aware and conscious is being in control and aware of everything you do, and this includes being in control of your thoughts. You're only conscious when you're in control of thoughts. If your thoughts take control of you, you lose, and if you try to drown them with tv, video games, music, or alcohol, drugs, or porn, you lose control of your own life. You fall into the state of semi-consciousnes so prevalent nowadays. As Tyler Durden from RSD well puts it, "Most people walk thru the world in a walking daze". Today I lost, but its like a blessing in disguise because its helped me see the benefts this expierence brought me.
Having control of your bad habits is essential to confidence and self actualization.
Sadly, I no longer see any use for this forum which has helped me and others a lot. I don't intent to log in any more but maybe i will in my moments of non-acceptance of myself, moments which distractions will actually only end up increasing.
Use technology only when necessary.

"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.
I probably watch about 2 hrs of tv per week. If I absolutely have nothing else to do i'll turn on the tv to try to catch a basketball or soccer game. There are some weeks (most) where I don't even turn on the tv. Sometimes I have been caught offguard because of this. One time a friend was talking about this girl in a magazine who I didn't know who she was (cause i don't watch tv) then he tells me how she is supposed to be one of the hottest girls in hollywood and one of the biggest celebs in the world at the moment and I just didn't give a f___. He was telling me how he just couldn't believe I didn't know who she was and I just didn't give a f___.
I think of TV as being like meat. I know it's bad for me but i'll have it once in a while.
There's a reason why it's called PROGRAMMING. But since I have cut most of my tv viewing I feel like I live in my own world rather than the world the corporations that own these tv CHANNELS want me to live in.
Of course I could get into the metaphysics of things and how each channel is programmed at a certain frequency to hit your chakras but that's some heavy stuff better left for another time. Just know this tv is bad for your health for reasons you can't even imagine.

It has nothing to do with TV. It was in response to the "kissing" comment.
But after re-reading your first post I misinterpretated it completely! I was reading in rush. My bad brotha.
