"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.

Bare in mind, however difficult it might seem, I am a vegetarian. I go to college and want to get more meals in, each with protein. Usually all I can really bring is sandwiches but it seems anything with protein in that would suit that kind of packable snack has loads of fat as well. Cheese, Eggs, peanut butter... I'm really not sure what else I can bring in that is appropriate other than protein bars which are too expensive for my budget.

What sorts of things do you bring to work/college ?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Heh.. you arent alone. Honestly, I have been vegetarian for over a year and a half (vegan a year-- but not vegan right now), and I still have trouble finding decent food to eat. There are some good sandwiches that can be made with tofu, which is a great source of protein with little fat. You could always buy some packages of tofu and eat them straight, but unless you are weird, that would taste pretty terrible.

Try vegweb.com/food. They have some great recipes. I try to eat as much fat as possible, so I can't really give you many straight suggestions.

This would be a good question to ask at the vegsource.com forum. <--- Good people.

Anyone who tries to turn this into a flame war (its inevitable) gets a punch in the nose.
