"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.

apparently at the hotel im booking, 2 adults costs an extra 14$ a night. whereas 1 adult, there is no such fee. however, since we are both sleeping on the same bed, can't i just book 1 adult and have it be the same, or will there be problems?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Wierd! I've worked in hotels for over 25 years. One or two people are the same price unless they want two beds. There is an extra charge for a third or fourth person, and yet another charge for a rollway bed.

No kidding. I currently work the front desk at a Sheraton. It is nice to meet people from all over the country and world from different cultures and socioecomic backgrounds. However, standing on ones feet for 7.5 hours a day and working crummy hours is a deal breaker for me.

Not enough information.

Where are you staying? What country? Most hotels in the US do not charge extra for having two adults instead of one.

Where did you hear about the "extra" charge? Was it directly from the hotel staff, from a website, or...?

I figured when he said "hotel" that he meant an actual hotel, as opposed to a "motel". But I suppose you could be on to something.
