"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.

hey can you guys give me some advice on how to move out of my parents house?? i dont have many friends that can do that right now but ive been having problems with my parents lately and really think i need to move out!! im 22 and i think its my time.

heres the break down of estimated costs:

apartment at $750 a month for 6 month lease: $4500

Groceries: about $250 a month?

Going out exspenses: $150 a month? only go out like once a week.

im thinking of paying for the $4500 lease with a credit card....then getting a second job working about 60 hours a week total to pay it off...

average 2 week paycheck at my current job is $455.00. but they are giving me a full time position now so thats good.. should jump up to at lease $620 every 2 weeks.

then the second job should pay about the same but only getting PT about 24 hrs a week.
 

"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.

You are going to need a ton of cashola to move out and survive. Trust me, i learned this the hard way and now im back at home haha.

If i were you id get that 60 hour a week job now and start saving. Put together like 6 grand THEN move out. At least you will have all your rent covered, plus you will be working anyway so you will have alot of extra cash for whatever.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

NO, but. I have considered it.

I have like friggin 7k saved up. But seeing as how i work part time and earn $8 an hr, so that's like $150 a week. in the long run i'll go broke.

one of my close friends owns a condo in his buildling and rents it out for about 1.5k a month. He said if i ever wanted ot move in, he would kick out the current tenant.

Let's see, food, transportation, hang out..it eats my weekly check into more than half. Even if i had a bloody roomie, in the long run i'll just go broke and running back to my parents place.

With me going back to school next semester, ill barely be able to work at all, needless to say save.

the best solution atm is just going towards my goal into finishing college and finding a high paying job to support myself.

Room mates ease the tention. Look in the paper and find someone who already has a place and is looking for a room mate. Shop around, you might even find a guy who has a phat pad and porn stars coming over on weekends (not likely but could happen). Also a room mate might have connections to get you a better job so you'll be able to cover your living expences, not be broke, and not have to work two jobs. You'll shoot yourself working all those long hours, seriously.

stay at home but never be home....... cheap and effective

If you're thinking when you move out you'll be able to get more action that will not be the case if you're working hard (60 hours a week).

But do it and find out the hard way like I did :D

Cheers

Do what i am doing.... In 2 months time i am getting a room with kitchen, shower, everything in it built NEXT to my house ON my parents house property (its a big property) So I live 10 metres away from my parents, no rent, free food, electricity, water, etc, AND i live BY MYSELF, so bringing ladies home for some "action" is no problem either. Its the cheapest, best way to live at this age. When i am in my late 20's and i wanna movine into a place with my girl, then I'll hopefully have enough money to buy a small place for me and her, and if i dont, i'm sure she will be happy to help out, as i plan on marrying a rather whealthy girl. Renting out is bullshh!t in my eye's! Rather BUY a place rather than pay some guy to just live there. So save up, take a loan from the bank, etc, but DONT rent. For the next couple of years i'll be fine in my seperate room though, and the only reason I'll move wil be to start settling down with a girl etc, which will be in my late 20's most probably. And by the way... building a new room like the one i am going to have isnt THAT expencive;)

"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.
