"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.

He still hasnt responded to one. And i won the bid.

"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.

It's not like you paid for it yet, so I wouldn't call it 'fuct'. Give the seller a few days (7 is acceptable). On the 4th day, let him know that if he hasn't responded by the 7th that you will leave negative feedback. If he hasn't contacted you by the 10th, go ahead and leave a negative.

Or, you can request his contact information. Go to Help in the eBay tabs, and type "request seller contact". Input the item number and the seller's user ID and it will email you a copy of his telephone number and other information. Use this to reach him directly.

My mate lost just under $1000 purchasing an item.

Seller took the money, never sent the item, and one year later this guy is still out of pocket.

Couldnt track the seller, apparently...

So yeah, you can get fuct on ebay, but I wouldnt worry about your situation just yet.

His own fault. Next time he should use a major credit card. If in the event he's ripped off, he can file a chargeback on the transaction and recieve his money back from the CC company.
 

"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.

True dat.

Credit card companies and banks operate by using digital #'s, which don't mean **** all. It's not real money to them, its monopoly money. You lose a grand on Ebay, but you used their credit card? Who cares, they sure as hell don't. It takes one click of a mouse to give you that money back, and another to make you a millionaire.
