"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'm growing out my hair and I wanted to know what I could do to keep it healthy. I also wanted to know what I could do, like wear a hat, to leave it, like, hidden, i guess, cuz I know gel ruins hair if you're not careful, and I hate gel anyways.

Basically, hair care tips please.

get a few different brands of shampoos, switch every few days. if you use the same shampoo for too long, your hair will get very, uh, frizzy. i guess that's the word for it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

:eek: Thats for long hair right? I Wash my hair with shampoo once a day and my hair is short. Is this bad?

I pretty much started going bald prematurely from washing it too often with shampoo, irritated itchy scalp etc.. not washing it as often seems to have stopped my hair thinning as well. For long hair I imagine you can apply it more to the hair and less to the scalp which would be fine, the problem seems to be the acids in the shampoos. If you have short hair, warm water should be good and then wash it two to three times a week at the most with shampoo.

Don't forget, if you eat less then 6 meals a day, you'll die of cancer.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
