"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.

ok so i just moved to a totally new country. ive been in school for a week now and ive gotten to KNOW quite a bit of people so being in school is pretty fun.
however heres the prob: once i get home im bored as a mother****er!!! my contact list on my phone is pretty small compared to the one back over in Europe :(
What im wondering is how to meet guys after school, weekend without sounding gay. Ive asked a couple guys to the gym but they do their own workouts at home (ive asked like 4 guys). i also asked about parties and such and they responded with giving a hint of invatation to me :(

so how can i take a friendship from school and take it outside aka so i can get a life!!
 

"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.

Do you have a job? Even if you don't need the money, it'd be good to get a part-time one at the mall or something in addition to meeting people at school. Besides, more money never hurts.
