"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.

yeah I know just barely about to be september but Im so excited for wrestling to start, it starts november but I weigh 160 and need to drop to 130 :eek: .... yeah, I have placed 4th at 112 and 2nd at 130 and just barely qualified at 145 last season, though last season I was totally out-of-shape and had not enough stamina, my technique was crappy.

w/e though, the new season is starting up and I cant wait, Ive already started running, the sectional Im in is supposed to be in SUPER WEAK.

anyone else looking foward to wrestling? weights age and accomplishments, Id think its cool to hear about yall.
 

"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.

Yeah, I used to wrestle here in Indiana. Was ranked in the top 16 in the state in my weight class. Now I do Brazilian Ju Jitsu and kick azz at it.

If you're having problems dropping weight and keeping your strength, read the the book, A Flat Stomach ASAP by Ellington Darden. You will be able to keep your strength up (even get stronger) and drop those 30lbs before your first meet. I wish I had that book back when I was wrestling in high school.

update

I found out just today that I was given the #8 ranking in the state of Illinois at 130.
 

"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.
