let me just start by saying its a love/hate relationship with my old man. He wasn't there for most of my childhood but that's partly because they had to work on there on issues. Does it make it right that he wasn't there? No Do I have a right to be mad? H3ll yea but at some point we as men should move forward and quit living in the past. Sometimes we get mad at them without knowing the real reasons. Other times it because they're scared or not ready. Like I said I can't stand my old man sometimes (Specically when he drinks) but when it comes down to it you onlyy have one set of parents. Don't take them for granted and even though the @$$hole is drunk as I type this I still love him. Shoutouts to you fathers on this site
"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.
