"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.

Is Ariana Grande an NAWALT?

Not sure if many of you know, but Ariana Grande was with Mac Miller for a year or two. Dumped the dude and then started dating this Pete Davidson guy from SNL just a few weeks later. Two months after that, they announced that they were engaged to be married. Mac said they parted on good terms and wished them the best. He killed himself two weeks ago. Everyone is blaming this Ariana Grande chick for Mac ODing. Not sure if that's the reason or not, but she really go over him quick. She had to disable her twitter and insta comments as everyone seemed to blame her for his death.

Back to my question. This chick has a lot of money supposedly. I mean, 50 million +. This Pete Davidson guy has nothing, and he's pretty ugly, but he's on SNL. She went from Mac Miller, who was worth 10 million or so, to this Pete Davidson guy who doesn't have much. Besides taking a dump on Mac, is she an NAWALT? I've seen some of Davidson's SNL clips, he's no Eddie Murphy or Bill Murray. I do not think he's going to explode as an A list actor anytime soon.

What gives?
 

"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.

Well, this is proof that this AWALT thing is BS.

Men invented that so they could blame someone/something.

She got tired of him being high or drunk all the time. How much can a person try to help a person who doesn't want to be helped? Eventually you just have to give up.
