"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.

Hey everyone,

If I make a payment with Paypal using credit card, is the payment made out to paypal when I get my credit card bill or the site I bought the product from (i.e. ebay)?
 

"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.

Yes, my american express bill always states all paypal transactions.

Another question though:

If you sell things via ebay and you use an american express card for your paypal account, how do you get your cash once you sell the item? I don't want my credit card credited, especially if i make several hundred dollars per month.

Can someone explain?

On your bank account it will show as PAYPAL INST XFER XXXXXXXXXX.. You can see exactly what that XXXXX number is in transaction details on your PayPal account..

On credit card its smilar.. It will say PAYPAL then a shortened name of seller..

PayPal's credit card name is Mark PayPal if you ever get to recover your money from them. It's smart that you're using credit card through PayPal, you have another line of defense against fraud or other things, credit card company is always on your side. Just make sure it's American Express.



If they pay via PayPal to you, you transfer that ballance to your bank account.. I don't wait until the end of month, I receive a payment, I initiate transfer.. Buyer can cancel the payment even after you ship the item and you have to go through dispute to get your money, so always transfer.. I don't deal with PayPal when selling because of this, unless buyer requests it.. Another reason I don't deal with PayPal is because I can't select which payments to accept, if they pay me with credit card, I have to deal with chargebacks.. Though, PayPal supposedly makes buyers buy more, or whatever.. I use my charm to make them buy more..

I use Visa and not American Express, I'm just wondering what the credit card bill will say when I buy something from random websites like ebay. Can you guys give me an example?

I have a Paypal debit card, which is GREAT. Its like a bank debit card, and you can access your money instantly from any ATM, or just use it like a credit card. Nothing like thinking you are broke, then finding out your nifty blue card suddenly has $300 on it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
