"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.

At one point in my life, I wanted to get a pHD in physics and work at a place like NASA to .. invent starship propulsion, ala Star Trek. Things that will really matter for the future of humanity. I wanted to make the future now.

I'm 18 now, and in the past few years, I have unbecome a nerd. I can now relate to other people, largely thanks to sites like SoSuave and mASF. Because of you guys, I have gotten into bodybuilding and taken care of the female and social parts of my life. I appreciate other things, especially business. I'll be going to college in 3 or 4 months.

My two options.. persue a career in business management or accounting and start a business or become an accountant.. make $$$. My other option: do what I always dreamed of, work torwards a pHD in physics and get a job working for the future. It feels like a little kid's dreaming versus the reality of the world. Big crossroad here.

Anyone else who has been at the point in life that I am in now, please respond, help me out.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Folow your dreams, I never give up the dreams, even if they are hopeless. I wanna be an actor and a musician. Lots of people tell me my dreams are crap and every kid has those dreams. Well i dont care, couse i got talent, and I am becoming a good singer, and a DJ. So your dreams are normal, and you should folow them. I would NOT suggest getting carrer in business management, thats a regular job, WE LIVE ONCE!~ Make your dreams a reality, become unique, become famous for you will never be forgoten.

you will lose sight of this, especially first semester freshman year - but always remember that your grades come first in college. you will regret blowing off that test and only getting a B in that class. and i also say follow the phd dream - you will be happier in the long run. good luck.

You won't get more money in accounting than in physics. And something that has to do with actual production is always safer than something that is meant to serve the production. And I say this studying business.

The best combination is to learn physics, then take a class in basic accounting when you're done. Then you got the most important part of the business classes, and can run a company if you want to!

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

dude, follow your dream and follow it now while you dont have a bunch of kids or a wife to make you rethink and down scale your dreams.
later, when you are working for nasa you can meet a really good woman who might work there too, enjoying the same things that you do.

there are tons of women who really love smart guys.
