"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.

This is something I'm trying to develop and has been difficult for me to apply. How do you have a constant sense of humor about life, things around you, and other things but not get that over-inflated sense of self-importance that I see so much of in life who have goals in front of them at all times? I'm not sure I know of anyone who is good at both. I'm talking about REAL humor, not witty one-liners (I"m a big opie and anthony fan just to give you an idea of what I find funny). The funnniest people I know are all dumb ****ups and staying in that state is pretty ****ing hard and depressing. But humor is as important to me as sex is.

One common piece of advice I come across would be to emulate someone else you see who has successfully achieved this. While i'm sure if I looked long enough I could always find someone to mimic, at the end of the day I will always come back to being ME. I can only emulate/imitate for so long.

If you know what I'm talking about please advise...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The thing about a sense of humor is this, not everyone finds every funny guy funny. I love sienfield, my buddy thinks he's just a whiney jew. He loves Andrew Dice Clay. I think he's a moron. Humor like beauty can be highly subjective to the parties involved. I have friends who think I'm the funniest guy ever and others who think I'm a bit off for telling the same joke.
