"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.

hey...i remember one time a while ago you said your friend was to appear as a guest host for a show on upn? is that correct?

well...thing is my friend who is trying to make his way up in some hip-hop, is to appear on this show called spotlight entertainment. i was wondering, with your "connections," would you know anything about that show? it's sort of like an american idol singing contest, but a bit different.

the reason i made a thread is to spread the word...just get it out there...

the show is called spotlight entertainment, and it's on in the southern united states. problem is though, that it's on a low-budget at the moment, and is aired at around 12-1am, eastern time. hopefully, if more people watch it they'll get more money. still, some areas don't air it, and i wanted to see how you could at least get a recording?

everyone else, you guys should watch too.
 

"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.

yeah my friend said he's supposed to perform on the show tonight, and even though he's done with the competition and actually knows what went down, now they need people to watch and call in to vote, because it's not actually live.

but he's working on his cd now anyway...i haven't exactly seen him perform before, but if i am able to catch a glimpse and see how good he is (or not), then i'll put his actual name out their so you guys can look him up...we'll be working on his website soon and he's working on an album now...i might link some of his stuff

but anyway, that's awesome, thanks...i'll be back again later if i don't fall asleep...

if he has some songs, tell him to email them to me at [email protected]... my two best friends, who I mention all the time, are up and coming recording artist whoose first cd drop in January... putting the fininishing touches on it now... I'll email anyone a sample if they want to hear some of their older stuff, even it's pretty good.

I've seen that show before.. it comes on down here, I usually cactch it when I am playing pool at West End (a bar down here)

What exactly are you trying to do?

hey, that's really great.

i gave him your email address, so he'll be sending you something soon. thanks.

actually, i'm not sure exactly what i'm trying to do...good question

i think mostly along the lines of promotion, and spreading the word. I want to try and get a recording of him from the show on his site, then it will be easier to show to other people.

anyway, thanks again, and good luck to your friends with their cd. sounds cool, yeah, i'd be interested in hearing their stuff: [email protected]

btw, i've been meaning to say this in another thread, but that second quote in your thread has really made me think lately as i've been exploring different organized religions ...and it's quite thought provoking

thanks... I'll be checking my email and everyone should know about all religions, not just their own, because how can you know the "truth" if you don't even know the question
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
