"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 Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

I avoid anything that says hydrogenated in a heart beat, but if I have to eat food or a drink with hydrogenated/natural flavors/aspartame/Monosodium Glutamate/High Fructose Corn Syrup/Modified Corn Starch.
All I have to do is Pray, ask God to Bless it, Thank God for the food, Confess of my sins to God and ask God for Forgiveness through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and then Tell that food that you love the food, and to say I'm sorry and to ask the Food for forgiveness and to ask myself to forgive myself for eating this food or drink.
Asking for Forgiveness as if I was the one who created hydrogenated foods and Me who put it in all the foods and had children and little babies eat food with it.
And also thank the company who made it, pray for them and ask for there forgiveness for putting it in the food in the first place.
The Bible teaches us to Love our enemies.
If we Hate our enemies you are only creating more hate in the world.
If we take full responsibility for our actions and the actions of others and to confess and ask for forgiveness as if you committed that sin they did, then the world will begin to heal.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Actually, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils can be very good for lubricating squeaky door hinges or gears; and, if in liquid form, can be used to wash tar off your hands without the nasty scent that other de-greasers have, if you need to do any roofing work or such.
