"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.

have you ever noticed on myspace profiles how some of these girls who think they're the sh*t set up their profiles so that it in a subliminal way radiates that message? i was just browsing and landed on several "cool/hip girls" myspaces who barely write about themselves, seem to be into all the "hip" music/movies/clothing/lifestyle without being extravagent with expenses and i must say their online persona made me feel a bit intimidated. as i shook it off i pictured these girls in real life and how theyd probably be shy/timid unless they were holding a drink as to loosen them up.

i'm just curious, has anyone else here felt a bit of intimidation from a girl's online profile? almost like they knew EVERYTHING that was "happening" and you should play catch up to get with them. why is this??
 

"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.

Sounds a bit like my profile really. I've just got a funny video, a song i like and a brief list of interests on the side. No 'about me' or anything. I wouldn't have thought it was intimidating though..

You got any examples like you've mentioned?
