"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 see now that the list thing was a bad idea.
I'm not continuing it.

Its a sign that I've been here way too long. I need to retire.

I've learned that true greatness is achieved outside of the site. I went from die hard AFC to successful LTR Don and thank everyone for that. Not that I don't need the site anymore, its just that I have a woman in my life now who has earned my time and devotion. And I need to spend more quality time with her now. I was a great Don and just didn't realize it. I was still acting like a newbie. I apologize for that.

In any case, I'm announcing my retirement.

Thanks to everyone. Keep up the great work.
 

"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.
