"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.

All in the Family was a great TV show growing up.

The main character Archie Bunker was pretty much verbally abusive to everyone especially his wife.

If you get time and feel like watching the last part of the final episode into the "Archies Place" episode following where his wife has died it's pretty sad.

Just a heads up to not take a person like Archie as the way to treat a GOOD woman thinking you're being "Alpha".

They really don't make powerful TV shows like this anymore.

"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.

Being an elder gentleman, I remember this show. It was immensely popular in its day, it was #1 in the ratings for years back in the 70s. It was considered groundbreaking.

My impression is that it hasn't aged well, however. In other words, a lot of shows that were less popular went on to do better in syndication. Maybe that isn't surprising considering it had a lot of topical content, which made it specific to its time.

I like it but I think there were much better shows from that decade, such as Sanford and Sons, Bob Newhart, Rockford Files, and Charlie's Angels (woohoo:p)
