"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

$350,000 budget for a house anywhere in Cali means you are either A) Buying a fixer that needs major work, or B) living in a gang-infested sh-thole.

I think you better up your budget a bit.

You can check zillow.com to get a general idea of what homes are going for in a given neighborhood. But still, $350,000 sounds pretty unrealistic for the Bay Area. Good luck.

I dont think you live in Cali...i live small town area...full of trailer trash, 30 year old high school "jocks" still living in the past, and panhandlers...

Imagine that town from that movie "Just Friends" with Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart. Thats How crappy my town is.

But there are still nice areas and real estate has dropped tremendously in the last year...what was $700,000 2 story 5 bd/3 bath built in 2005 is now about $350,000.

I was thinking about this,

Since the economy is so crappy would buying a house NOW be a good thing? I thought it was bad to buy a house now. I am not looking in selling either once I buy the house.

Not for investors, buy low...economy goes back up then sell high.

If your talking about job risk, theres no worry...parents have their own business.
 

"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.
