"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 know that it has probably been posted about before, but why isn't there a FR forum?

I am not questioning your reasons or authority, just for the benefit of all here.


I do think it would be a good idea, if people would actually write honestly.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

To quote palahniuk

“You gain power by pretending to be weak. By contrast, you make people feel strong. You save people by letting them save you.
All you have to do is be fragile and grateful. So stay the underdog.
People really need somebody they feel superior to. So stay downtrodden.
People need somebody they can send a check at Christmas. So stay poor.
"Charity" isn't the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind”

I'd like to know the context of that quote... who's seen the movie?

I know there are, but when all is said and done, everything on this site, all the advice, all the articles, everything, is not worth nearly as much as experience. The most learning can come from practice and people reading about others' experience.

An FR forum would add a tremendous deal to this site.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with my site!

Anyway, like Godsgifttowomen said, it's Allen's choice. After seeing how many people ask for it though, I'm not sure it'll come soon. It's not very suavely to ask for something.

eternal, I wasn't attacking your site in any way. I haven't even been to it frankly, although I will stop by later if possible.

I know it is Allen's choice, and I respect it either way, cuz I do post FRs on other forums like Shezz's, but this site could be better with one.

There is a FR forum!!!! That is something that isn't spread very much.

Give me a minute, I'll put something on the DJ discussion board that's alittle more advanced than 'directly asking for something'.

One thing that I really desire to learn is how to "ask for something like a DJ"

All I know, it has something to do with emotions. If you want a true and cutting answer, that you desire, you have to lead the implications of a question.

Who in history posed questions that rocked the planet? Einstein, Napoleon, JFK? Without being in control of your emotions when you ask, your words don't flow properly, and your emotions aren't satisfied with a good answer:(
