"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

i'm graduating on friday.
Part of me is so ready to just say fvck this town. I've been here my whole life and I've travelled a lot and I know theres a lot more for me outside the little bubble that is fairfax. 90% of the people I am aquintances with I have slowely just been realizing how fake they are. People think they are hott sh!t for no reason.
But the other part of me is going to miss my friends a whole lot, but I'll always cherish my friendships and the friends that i want to keep seeing, I will keep seeing.

Its going to be intense moving to a place knowing very few people(i have 2 close friends going to the same college) but I think it def gives me a chance to reinvent myself. For some reason I've always been shy around the people who I was awkward around in 9th n 10th grade. But when I meet new people I make friends and am loud n obnoxious before I even say Hi.
I think its going to be the biggest learning experience of my life. and not to rush it or anything, but I cant wait.

Yeah man I'm graduating next Friday. I mean hgh school has been a great experience for me, especially the last two years. I've grown a lot as a person, and lots of memories and lessons learned, all with my close friends. And the college I'm going to, Syracuse, no one from my school is goign there, so I'll be all alone. I'm a little nervous, and part of me doenst wanna leave my friends, but college is a hugeeee step forward, and aa great opportunity to meet peeople you'll know forthe rest of your life. So my mindstate is to make the best out of this summer with my friends (let no girls get in the way ;]) and then do the whole college thing.

One week. Only one week away from graduating... the boozefest shall start after (and then, there's the game! But why waste an excellent opportunity to get wasted with the boys and the girls!)
