"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

well, i didn't actually faint. they were very good about that. it just shook me up, and was totally avoidable if i'd actually followed their directions (don't eat right beforehand, stay hydrated, avoid caffeine that day).

I've successfully donated 1 gallon to date. No scares, no fainting for me. Enjoy it and hit on the hotties, you'll be surprised how receptive they are of everyone due to their...wooziness.

donated today, the only pain was the initial breaking of my skin to get to the vein. No dizzyness or anything, my friend fainted though :p

Very important to eat a full meal before hand. I didn't think about it my first time and hadn't eaten in at least a day very stressed and going nonstop with school work. Did not make for a very good combination. Didn't quite faint but had to lay down and eat cookies and juice for an hour. Got me out of class though...
