"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.

"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.

Lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain wheat bread, wholesome foods. Basically all the stuff your mother would be happy to feed you. As with most people, it's the junk that kills you.

I want to do both... but im pretty sure its the food thats holding me back, and i have been looking around for somewhere to learn to cook so i can prepare my own healthy meals... but for the time being while im starting getting a whole healthier lifestyle i need healthy things to eat that arent to hard to prepare.

Am i am quite good with fruit most days i will have a few bananas and a few apples.... i read the "Cutting guide" theres alot of good advice in there by the looks of it but not much todo with actual dishes i should be eating.... saying eat more protene to someone who doesent cook and doesent really know whats in most foods (im working on it.... ) is like saying the rear axel is distorted and is affecting the HP output to someone who has no interest in cars. :) bad analogy but you get the point...

Sazuko, I'm impressed. Instead of saying "uh. . . eat better" you went out and did something really helpful. Good job man

"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.
