"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.

So lets talk about happiness.

The biggest mistake people make is depending on external things for there happiness.

This could be drama, relationships, drugs and alcohol, video games, whether some one likes you or not and the list could go on and on.

Another mistake people make is they think happiness is feeling joyful all the time.

Wrong. Happiness is about dealing with life, whether it be awkwardly, or fantastically.

Only you are responsible for how you feel, and the choices you make.

The second you start to blame others for this or that, your giving away your power, and being a weak ass.

You will make mistakes, learn from them.

Ultimately it comes down to perception, how you look at things.

If some one takes advantage of you, its because you let them. You can't control anything but yourself, some things you can influence, but ultimately all you can control is you.
 

"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.
