"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.

Numb Tongue???

The left tip of my tongue has been numb since Wednesday or Thursday morning...I lost track...but it's been a few days.

I can eat fine, and everything is cool, but it just feels really weird like there's a small piece of tape stuck to it. Or like it was burnt and hasn't healed in a while. But I never ate anything really hot. The only possibility I can think of is that maybe I bit on my own tongue really severely in my sleep and caused nerve damage?

I'm not too worried, but it is weird and has never happened before. I haven't been sexually active in a couple of months so I doubt I've got anything in that regards unless I got it a while ago and it's just showing signs now?

Still, when I look in the mirror, there is nothing visibly different with that part of my tongue, it's just how it feels.

Anyone else get something like this before?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

nah, I've never had a stroke or anything...I'm only 21 (turn 22 in June)

As I read more and more about it through google, it makes me more worried because there seems to be lots of disease with that same symptom, ie, Syphalis!!!!?? MS???!! Anemia??

I really am starting to get worried. I mean, I wasn't worried before, but I am now.

Or Liver or Kidney Infections???
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

did you burn your tongue at all?
no, and that's the weird part.

I just woke up in the morning with the tip of my tongue feeling numb. I seriously hope this isn't MS or syphalis or something bad. I'll go see a neurologist asap.

^Self-Mastery, what did you mean by "stroke"? Is it possible to have one in your sleep?

Also, it may be noteworthy to mention that about a week earlier, after I got home from work I got really dizzy and felt like I was going blind. The sunlight was really intense and I could barely see. I was feeling so weird that when I was cooking something in the microwave, rather than stop the time and open the door, I just opened the microwave door. I'd never do that normally, and I was surprised at how 'out of it' I was. It felt like I was falling over when I walked. Later I concluded that I may have been dehydrated. Or it could be related to this, who knows...or could that be a stroke? My head also hurt really bad during that experience and I had trouble breathing.

but the numb tongue just happened a few days ago, on - I'm pretty sure since Thursday morning.
