If a girl asks you to do a chore, I know enough not to do it. But what if I ask that she be involved? Is that OK? What would be the best way to go about it?
"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.

There's nothing wrong with doing a favor for a friend, or even a lover. Like maybe if it's something you can help with that she can't do herself. It depends totally on the context of the situation. You can be a helpful person without becoming a doormat. It's like if you hold the door for a stranger, have you suddenly become a beta? What should you do, slam it in their face?
SMH. This place seems determined to churn out a bunch of selfish pr!cks lately. I don't get it. Where's Atom Smasher, he used to bring a sense of balance to this place.
