I actually do benefit from this woman. She cooks, cleans and doesn't mind paying when we go out (with her debit card). I also try to keep things evenly by paying for stuff. She's assured me her debt is her problem that she's dealing with. I also believe in keeping things separate and I don't intend to ever get married. I just brought it to the board to see if there could be something that I'm overlooking. But good info all around.
"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.
