Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

How do you quote multiple posts in a thread?

Not sure how to do that. Can someone tell me how?

Thanks.
 

"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.

Cut and Paste the multiple posts you want to use
Thanks, but how do they end up in their individual boxes with the word "Quote" above the boxes? Do I have to yype in the html ([Quote= etc.) or is there an automatic way? Sometimes I see posts with like 10 quotes and I can't imagine that the guy actually typed in all that code.

Thanks again!

Sorry. I'm sure someone else can explain it better. I'm not much of an expert on these things.

All I can say is, if I find 3 posts I want to use, I usually just click the "quote" button, so all the code pops up, then I copy those 3 posts and paste them into whichever typing program I have open....like Microsoft Word.

Then, while in Word, I type my response to each quote, and copy & paste it back into the browser.

Smarter people might have a simpler way to do this, but this is how I've been doing it on forums for years.
