"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.

I've heard of hardening your knuckles etc.
You get them harder by ummm.. hardening them somehow.


Well, less than a month ago I once got so mad I hit a table as hard as I could three times mostly with one of my knuckles.

It took a while to recover
but yesterday I was playfully fighting with my step-bother.
So I hit him with that knuckle and it hurt quite a bit.
I think I have a minor fracture in my knuckle.
Ok, It will recover...
...But my question is, after recovering, is it harder than it was before or did it make my knuckle weaker?
You know fractures aren't so good.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

The asian martial artists have been breaking their knuckles for years to make them stronger. My sensei had to place his hands between two 2x4's and have all his knuckles broken. Aparently you only do it once, or else you might have serious complications. But like every mended bone, it will be stronger.

Right.
So nothing to worry then.

Funny how even the shape has changed a little bit :)

If you regularly punch things, like punching bag or something, your knuckles will wear down and will hurt a lot less when you punch something seriously. Once worn down, they are less likely to fracture (or chip... ouch) on impact, and less likely to split the skin over them.

Don't know if this is hardening them though.
