"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.

and I'm new to the forum. (this is where you say "Hiiiii Joe, Welcome aboard young padiwon :p ) I just found out about this forum and seems to have a fun, mature crowd, so I had to join. I'm still reading the stickies and getting my knowledge on. All this makes sense. The problem I've been having lately when talking to a girl is when they ask "What do you do?" I confession is I'm not 25 but 21 years old. I droped out of college to work full time w/ my father in his business. He owns a Marble & Granite Shop. I never feel 100% confident when I explain to a woman what I do. Usually they ask if I go to college, I usually respond w/ a simple (no, I work full time) then they ask where? I then seem to stutter to choose my words carefully because I feel like if i say I work w/ my father they might get a wrong impression by it. I don't know. My question is what would be the best response for my situation?
 

"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.

Your name is Joe...

Whatever you tell them.... say it in a confident manner. Running a family business is nothing to be ashamed of.

To not be so self consious - to have more balls and be proud of what you do and where you come from.

Confidence is key.

Bull sh#tting about what you do is never a good idea.

By the way this is the mature forum. 25 Yrs old and over.

Q. What do you do?

A. Whatever I feel like. You?

<smile>

Now that you now what she feels like doing, get a date to go do it.

Btw, keeping the job a mystery builds interest. If they still ask about your job right off, probably a gold digger. So tell 'em you're a professional hoe handler.

<no smile, straight face>

Oh, back-hoe handler, you know, construciton. What the hell were you thinking, wench???

Offending a few woman now and then is good for the soul. Half the time they want to suck your d!ck after that

You young foolish bastard - do you know that your work status is probably above 80% of the world's work force status??? You are rich and don't even know it!!!

Only a hor would take such a high work status as a degrading position!! Flee from this sick mentality!! Since when was working bad??????????????????????????
