"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You don't.

You can't change other people. They can only change themselves.


The only thing you can do is stand up for yourself and not take any **** because you are Asian, or for any other reason. Stand up for yourself and don't let them walk all over you. They might still hate you after, but at least you got the people's respect.

No one has respect for a coward.

My advice is just be yourself, you will never really know what other people think of you, but the only person who you need to make happy is you, and if you are happy in time those who do like you will reveal themselves.

Worst advice on this thread. The dude said he has problems with people talking badly about him behind his back and being racist towards him.

Did you even read his post? Or did you just regurgitate this?
 

"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.

I read the dude's post and stand by what I wrote for its simple the only person who matters is you, so if someone wants to backstab you, then let them, sure it isn't nice but if he knows that a person or persons is backstabbing him then he can either confront the person or say I don't care what you think and move on.

I think if you stopped calling them "Asian ass wipes" they won't spread rumours about you being a d!ckhead.
