"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.

First question is me and my girl got into a big fight over nothing. We were both hammered but anyhow it was pretty big fight. I have to "make it up" to her and im not sure if i should

1. take her to a nice restaurant (boring) and get flowers and stuff.
2. do the usual and go out to a party or club and just be extra nice. I would apologize to her when i picked her up
3. coffee and apologize kinda deal
4. your suggestion.

If it helps at all...were in college and she likes me a lot, and im into her a lot too. Normally we dont do dates, but i have taken her out on a "real date" and not a college date.


second question is kinda general...anyone have tips on how not to get crazy angry when drinking. It seems like every fifth time when drinking i get mad at something stupid. I know the cookie cutter answers...dont drink, take a deep breath, but im thinking someone might have an outside the box answer like dont drink liquor, stick to beer. THats not the answer as ive tried that. I know other young guys have this problem, you see it all the time. So either if you found a good way to deal with it, or if your an older guy and solved it please tell.


thanks for the future replies. i appreciate it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If you both got into a big fight, why do YOU feel like you're the one who has to apologize? We need more details.

Yeah, it'd be good to know more about the argument. Dont fall into the trap many guys do of grovelling at her knees when you have an argument, just to hurry up the peace making. If it was one of those stupid arguments where you are both to blame (has happened to me when drunk), you should both be big enough to apologise and sort it out.

About the aggression...I get it sometimes as well. That's one of the effects of alcohol for some people.. The answer really is don't drink as much (though I never stick to that :p)
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
