"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 this that unusual?

Well, firstly I would like to say that I am quite insecure about how I look, which is reflected in a couple of old threads I have made, and is prevalent in this thread too. Basically every morning I have to wash my eyes for a few minutes with a flannel in order to look a lot better throughout the day. If I don't do this, I look really rough and terrible throughout the whole day; I don't seem to start looking better as the day goes on naturaly like most people do after they wake up. Is it that unusual that I have to go through this ritual to look half decent for the day? Note that it only works if done around an hour after waking up, it is useless if done immediately after waking. What concerns me is that I won't always be able to do this. I'm off to Uni in October and if I have early lecture starts I won't be able to go through this routine, and will worry that people are staring at me because of how bad I look, and worse this will badly affect my chances with women, which is already bad enough as it is. I know I should be more secure in how I look, and just not go through this charade every morning in order to improve my self-esteem. What do you guys think? Thanks for any help.
 

"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.

My eyes looking terrible and/or scary! My right eye is always noticeably bigger and narrower than my left eye and stays looking this hideous way if I don't wash my eyes in the morning.

...You sure your not just self conscious?

Isn't how your eye looks just dependent on the muscles your using? Eh...

...Bigger... ( O ) and narrower... ( () )... So your eye looks like this. (())

Well I guess some of it is self-consciousness. It is definitely apparent though, the eye thing, but perhaps my sel-consciousness magnifies it into looking worse than it actually is. I really hate how I look if I don't wash my eyes though.
