"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.

A trick or treat special. I got a treat alright, well more of an early christmas present:

Clicking the link will take you to a photo of my newest guitar, an acoustic. Its something basic, one of those "starter packs" but will get the job done. It will go great with my 2 other electric guitars. Not a bad halloween treat, eh? :D

My parents got it for me after mentioning something about wanting an acoustic

Nice man. What type of stuff you like to play?
Thanks.

I mostly play Metallica. Some Slayer, Pantera and misc other stuff for fun. Learning some Black Sabbath / Ozzy. A bit of AC/DC and other stuff.

I think I would play some Blues and other stuff with the acoustic
