"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.

Hey guys,

Which is your favourite Samba band or CD?

I love this type of music, however am running out of songs to listen too.

Any of you can recommand any good Samba music?

Cheers
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This is an excellent site created and managed by some teenager from Brazil (if I remember correctly). There are probably 500-1000 albums, many of them otherwise unavailable. I believe you can download for free, but I paid ten bucks for either a month or year-long subscription to some download expediting program, and I probably have about 100 of the albums.

Otherwise, if you don't want to deal with that and don't mind paying money, check out

Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba
Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wave, Tide, The Composer of Desafinado Plays, Jobim (separate albums)
Bud Shank/Laurindo Almeida - Brazilliance, Vols 1-2, both of which are available from the site I reference.

Happy listening
