"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.

***You don't need to post a reply, ^^^just vote in the poll, thank you.***

So here's the situation.

Couple of days ago I was playing around with this pellet gun I got for my birthday, the safety failed, and I accidently shot my old LCD monitor.

So now I'm shopping for a new one, down to two choices.

Choice 1;
Samsung, 19"
2 ms response time
2000:1 contrast ratio; 300 cd/m² brightness
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...ategoryId=pcmcat104900050009&id=1149205183890
Price $225.00

Choice 2;
ViewSonic 19"
8 ms response time
500:1 contrast ratio; 250 cd/m² brightness
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202989024&adid=17662#prodInfoSec
Price $119.00

So I need a new monitor asap, please help me pick. One is much better on the eyes, the other is much better on the wallet.

Thank You,

"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.

Viewsonic manufactures garbage. I can't begin to tell you how many dead Viewsonic monitors we have around my workplace, and how many are flakey.
It's not their fault, most western companies in the consumer/prosumer eletronics market don't have their own technologies anymore.

They just buy shipments of what's produced in Taiwan, China, Singapore, South Korea and put a sticker with their brand name on it. What counts is they should be inexpensive and at least "acceptable", the rest they don't care.

At least Samsung has its own technologies, designs produces and distributes its own products. No surprise their products are better.
