"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.

Met a chick last tuesday...booked a date with her immediately for friday. she said it is all cool. Knowing, chick, I had other plans setup "just in case". Low and behold, she texted and canceled... no reason given... did not bother to ask her. She however offered to do it "some other time". So I booked it for tonight at 7pm. If she flakes again, she is OUT. She tried adding me on facebook but I neither added nor denied her request.

The plan for the evening: cofffee/tea and the a walk. Nothing special...
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Alright folks, just got back.

No coffee/tea. Went for almost two hours of walk around the river. Kino was excellent. vibe was great. however, I failed to kiss close. Well, I tried but she won't badge. The problem was I waited till we got to her car. She pulled out. I learned long time ago to kiss close midway between the date but I just violated my own philosophy. Well, lesson learned. She will be visiting her family tomorrow for a week. I keep you guys updated on this matter.
