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.
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.
It's going to be fun to see him attack the press for the prostitutes and charlatans they are. The radical left is accusing him of "rolling back free press" when all he's doing is fighting back against 18 months of lies, and threatening to sue people who have actually slandered and libeled him.I dressed as Donald Trump and walked around downtown Atlanta the Saturday night before the election, and even went to a couple strip clubs just to piss off the pimps.
I love Trumpy.I put money on him to become POTUS.Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I didn't read the article, but if it's CNN reporting 36%, it's likely to be in the ballpark range of 65%. Did they poll 120% Democrats in Southern California?http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/27/politics/trump-approval-rating-quinnipiac-poll/
36% approval rating his first week in office.
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.
They quoted the lowest reputable poll. Two other good polls were tied and at a mid 40 number. As usual CNN is trying to manipulate your perception of reality to suit their own political bias.http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/27/politics/trump-approval-rating-quinnipiac-poll/
36% approval rating his first week in office.
I think he's about 50 also. Not all polls are as recent as Quinnipac, but the Don is now doing exactly what he promised to do during the campaign, so opinions would not drastically change within a week.Rasmussen was the one who was most correct about the election. I could see most polls being at 40, which Trump has proven that he beats by ten points. We are definitely a 50/50 country at this point.
Well CNN is as slanted as any of them, this is just not true.I didn't read the article, but if it's CNN reporting 36%, it's likely to be in the ballpark range of 65%. Did they poll 120% Democrats in Southern California?
It's kind of like how CNN reported how Hillary "won the popular" vote by 3 million, before you deduct all the illegal aliens and dead people, after which Trump probably won by 2 million.
CNN isn't great with numbers.
What isn't true?Well CNN is as slanted as any of them, this is just not true.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
That Hillary didn't win the popular vote let alone lose by a few million in reality. Now that statement is slanted the other way.What isn't true?
No it isn't.That Hillary didn't win the popular vote let alone lose by a few million in reality. Now that statement is slanted the other way.
I was the only one who predicted he'd win out of my friends. Everyone kept joking it off until they realized I was serious. They asked why I thought he would and when I gave my opinions they didn't want to hear it and said I was crazy.My son is a junior in College. He was a Bernie supporter before he had to vote for Hillary. I told him Trump would win the election. I'm talking to real people, not liberals in Education. He wanted to argue with me so I bet him 2k...... took it out of his college fund the day after the Election....
