"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.

Hey, I went to the barbershop the other day to have my head shaved bald because I haven't cut my hair down lower than an 1/8 inch before. They chopped me up superbly:D The underlying reason for all of this is because my mom was diagnosed w/Leukemia last month. I even donated platelets and that hurt like fvck unlike the 6x I've donated whole blood.

It's slowly warming up for springtime here, so my head is feeling a lot cooler and I haven't sported a crewcut in awhile..

Here's just 1 pic http://www.myspace.com/bluecrushsponger
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Props, God bless your mom.


I work in health care. Bone Marrow operations are considered one of the most painful of all operations.

Peace

Shit, my dads only got one leg... but I'll be damned if I'm any less of a son than you. Bring me my hacksaw!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Looking good man. Much respect because I did a similar thing myself except that I actually grew out my entire hair throughout my moms 3 year treatment process (Breast cancer) and when she finally finished everything I went bald and donated my hair. Make sure you use some of your DJ skills and keep her cheerful & smiling. :up:

To KarmaSutra: If I were still living in St. Augustine, FL, I would have no problem with the bald look year-round. Having lived there, I shaved my head a lot and that is why I don't mind it at all. I'll keep it low.

To Mctwist4: I read u were a wrestler on a post and that leads me to another point.

SACRIFICE. Even though I had a poor record for my one season on the mat (6-9) I still learned to make sacrifices and build on my discipline. Throughout February and up to now, I've forced myself to make sacrifices. I quit sarging, had to cut all interest in a chick and it pissed her off (shows who she is), had to stay home to clean, cook sometimes, basically help my dad out.

I've taken it upon myself to perform more cleaning chores, finally cook things I said I would someday learn to do and to top it off, keep up with the schoolwork. I'm long overdo to set out on my own, but this adds even more to my well-being and persona. There were times of sorrow, anger, guilt and overall perseverance.

Thank you all and she is in remission, good news. She was even laughing because I have less hair than her and I made her laugh before she went off to bed. Hopefully I can relax more and continue my own progress.

Man I'm glad to hear she's in remission.

Taking care of my dad for two years as he died from melanoma skin cancer was pretty psychologically brutal and physically as well when he got too weak to take care of himself so if you ever need to vent man I am only a PM box away.

I don't think you'll need to though as long as she stays in remission.

Leukemia is one of those very tricky illnesses.

Sometimes people who get it are gone in six months or less, sometimes they struggle and fight it for a long time and then eventually don't make it or they struggle and make it and it never comes back again.

As long as a person has a fighting spirit about it I'd say they have a good chance of recovery.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
