"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.

Inside her mind
Damn I didn't agree with everything he said because at times I felt he was to LMSish
But the guy did bring value to the forum

sad day

How did I miss this thread before now??? So sad.

He was a wonderful contributor here, we had many respectful debates and discussions.

Nobody gets out alive at the end of this life and nobody knows how much time the hourglass holds.

His perspective remains here for the benefit of the board....tell your loved ones regularly that you love them and your friends too.

May he RIP....Cheers to a kind dude.

I also completely missed this. I had been wondering in my head where he was as he had been such a consistent (and valuable IMO) poster here the last few years. When I didn't see him posting anymore I wondered.

RIP to you, brother. You will certainly be missed here. So sad.

I personally knew SW15 and was informed by his mom about what happened. Out of respect for the family please stop with the negligience/insurance/who was at fault debate comments and/or take it somewhere else.

Lets keep it about SW15 and his contributions to SS.
You live in Texas? It’s a one hour flight from McAllen to Dallas. I wish he woulda been around for us to hang out, luckily there’s more Texans on this board, but I don’t think his introspective insights can be replaced for a long time.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

What a loss for the board. He was such a presence around here the entire time I've been here posting or lurking. Makes me sad. Godspeed to you SW15.
I can already feel the guy's presence being lost, I feel like this board lost a note or a riff to a melody. Hopefully more newbies comes in and fills the gap, but he's irreplaceable.

@Jesse Pinkman in case you had'nt seen this thread.
From what i seen, you were the one that corresponded with SW15 the most on here.
 

"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.
