"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'm not sure has anyone spoken about this one but... What do you think about skateboarding. I think it's pretty cool but I don't know what's the image of a DJ... The quiet nice looking guy behind the scene (for which girls scream OH HE'S SO HANDSOME) or the jabby well known to everyone guy. If it's the second i think hip-hop, skateboarding and grafitti do just fine...
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Who cares if its "the image of a dj." Gawd will you people stop saying stupid sh*t like that.

The whole "image" thing is exactly why I stopped skateboarding after high school. I didn't like it enough to do competely by myself, but it was fun with friends, until they all turned into the typical skater stereotypes. Aside from that, people always assumed things about me because I was a skateboarder, which became rather annoying in a high school setting where everyone is about drama and stereotypes. I also reached a plateau that I couldn't really get over without putting in some serious time and effort... coupled with having a lot less time once college started.

Really though, if you want to do it, do it. Don't worry about how people are going to percieve you. It was fun for me for a while.

I skate, surf, scuba dive, sea kayak, hike, rock climb, 5k races, Triathlons, etc. I do it for me and not to impress. Do things because you want to not because it looks cool.
