"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 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.

Reversing the damage from smoking?

I quit oh roughly 15 years ago. In that 15 years, have kept hitting the gym on a regular basis, lots of cardio and a pretty clean diet.

I hear you can reverse the damage caused by smoking, once you quit?

I have permanent lung issues from my many years of smoking. Some not all of the damage can be reversed.
