"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.

I read the Bible about 10 months ago. After that, I could hold great convos, make good eye contact, etc. However, I noticed that people got annoyed of me. I became something I thought I was, but I was still an AFC using DJ tactics. I was a poser. I now want to cut the bull****, want to start a new year towards achieving my goals.


Background
My name's Daniel, I'm a Sophomore, and 15 years old. I'm 5'10 at 105 lbs (I know, scary). I'm very much confident, but I can be very annoying. I've only gamed one girl in my life, and it's been 6 months of dating. I'm ready to get out of the relationship (I will right after Christmas), and start fresh. I want to improve so that my Junior year to the end of my life is incredible.

Strengths
- I have blue eyes and brown hair
- I have a Cuban/White background, but the white part takes over
- Though I am white, my father's skin and the Florida weather keeps me from being albino
- I don't have much acne (I go to a dermatologist)
- I think my face looks fine, in fact, I know it's fine, but if I put a body on it, I'm high on girl's wish lists.
- I'm intelligent. I can grasp Math concepts fairly easy, and take 2 honors classes (soon to be 4) at one of the top Catholic high schools in the country. I have a 3.7 GPA, and I think I got a 1500 on the new SAT in the summer.
- I can be funny at times.

Weakness
- Obviously my weight makes me at a huge disadvantage. I have limited gym equipment at my house, so I'll have to do the best with what I have. If I can get to 120 lbs, and then this summer when I get my car and my license, I can pump iron at the gym.
- I get picked on by 1 kid about my voice. He always says I talk funny. He's not the only one though. I've been picked on by a girl, and 2 other guys. I think part of the problem is that I try to make it deep, and by that it goes up and down a lot making people go "WTF is it doing that?"
- I can get annoying
- I don't play sports
- I've only asked one girl for her phone number, and probably aren't on the top of many girl's list because of my weight.
- I'm easily ****blocked.
- I am a virgin.

Reading
The DJ Bible. I'll do it Step by Step, slowly but surely.
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. In case you guys are wondering what this book is about--it's simply a book on how to go from having no power to obtaining power. I think it'll work good in get more friends, and controlling my friends.

Goals
- DJ by the Dec, 2006.
- 3.9 GPA (that's waht's required to get into UF or UM... even though I'm a Noles fan, I want to go to a good college)
- 140 lbs.
- Help motivate others to do the same.
- I want to have friends that follow me, not me follow them.

Misc.
- Girls that have black hair and brown eyes with tan skin turn me the f on!!
- I don't live in the ghetto


I'll read 3 "Must Read" from the DJ Bible each day, and 3 laws from The 48 Laws of Power each day. I'll apply them, and keep building.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

you realize it's out of 2400 now? why is this in the "good" things section?

to be ****blocked you have to be close to hooking up with a girl. oh, but I'm sure you're a huge casanova at all the parties and guys just steal the hotties away from you at the last second?

you don't need to tell us that for us to know it already.

controlling your friends? glad to see you have your priorities down.

stop being so concerned with controlling people. it's petty and immature.

why don't you grow up and find some friends who you can agree on things with?

finally, why did you post this? ooo, another goals thread. haven't had a million of those. here, try these sites:

I think it's cause I talk too much. I'm just loud sometimes, I guess.

The 48 Laws of Power are not meant to let u control people. It works if u learn it properly to maintain power in ur relationships with pple thats all. If you seriously have problems with your voice, u might consider getting a vocal coach... that's if u're loaded and decide to splash the cash =) if u know u are too loud and talk too much, why not work on these areas to improve yourself? after all, being a dj is abt having self control and self improvement...
 

"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.
