"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.

Well im 15, and im 270 pounds, im chubby yes...but im not so fat that its hanging everywhere and its all sloppy and ****. Im really well groomed and i keep my look really clean. I have a pretty decent face, i do workout, i have a somewhat big chest and big arms and shoulders, I basicly need to get lean and slim my belly! That the biggest thing i need right now, i hate having a big belly and nasty love handles, lol, honestly i dont care what ppl say about me, it doesnt stop me from meeting gorgeous girls at school, but i need to do this for personal reasons, i want to be healthy and fit, no more love handles ARGG!!:up:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

How tall are you?

I wouldn't class 270 pounds as 'chubby'...

Do you like fruits & peanuts?

Pound those down around the clock(up until 1-2 hours till bedtime) and watch yourself slim down in no time.
 

"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.

Are you seriously telling a 270 lb man to skip?

Fatty foods don't make you fat,food with ingredients added make you fat.

As for peanuts giving you pimples,could I guess,everyone different. I eat at least 1.5cups of unsalted peanuts a day and my face doesn't break out ever.

However, there are better nut choices. :)

Peanut allergies are far from uncommon - Andy, try almonds, walnuts, brazils etc.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You'd still have to be built like a brick ****house for me to still accept it as chubby lol. But still, you've come to the right place.

Yeah true.

For me the only nuts I like are unsalted peanuts. I don't really care for almonds,walnuts and such,I know others will swear by them as I do peanuts.

To each their own.

I started skipping every day when i started boxing conditioning and found it to be the best form of cardio ever. Very easy on the joints, builds your calfs for jumping and sprinting. My fat just fell off.
