"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.

I've always had to go around the country, both for business and pleasure. Only problem is, I feel like I'm paying too much to travel (my last trip to Sydney for a week cost me $500).

Does anyone have ideas on saving money with domestic travel? So far I've been travelling by train, sleeping in youth hostels/cheap motels, buying food from the supermarket, and taking public transport everywhere I go.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

hard to answer.. I don't think you should skimp on pleasure holidays. Maybe take them less often?

also, sounds like your doing things about as cheap as possible.

you could walk ride a bike instead of getting the train. but it'll take you a long assed time to travel between cities. lol.

you can sleep on the street instead of the cheap hostels/motels. but someone might steal you're bike.

you can eat out of bins, or beg for food.

and you can catch a ride with the guy who stol your bike instead of getting public transport.

Sorry, but when you say "domestic" but fail to provide a country it makes it a little difficult to help... from "Sydney" I assume you mean Australia? I can sit here and tell you all day how to get the cheapest domestic travel in the US, but if you don't live here it won't do you much good...

Yes its Australia. Although I'm not looking for country-specific tips, but just any tips in general to save money.

Also while I don't like to skimp on vacations, I have to travel a lot for various reasons (work mostly), so technically they aren't really vacations. Tax deductions don't really help too much, so I'm trying to find ways to save money, either when travelling, or at the destination.
