"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.

literarly.. i am not feeling good, but I don't know if I should go to the doctor or not. i haven't been, for being sick at least, since I was 5 and I don't want to go back if i can help it.

it started thursday night... I went out, had a couple of drinks, actually less than I usually drink, like 2 drinks in all, 3 max, then i went to taco bell at like 4 in the morning. brought this chick back to my house, we made out but she was so damn tired (and buzzed) I couldn't seal the deal so I let her go.

woke up the next morning feeling like absolute ****. to get to the point. Ever since Friday, whenever I eat, ESPICALLY when I hickup, I am in pain. it feels like I irritated something inside my chest. whenever I expand my lungs it hurts. It was to the point friday where i could hardley eat. saturday was better but still bad. Sunday was the first day I felt somewhat normal but it still (monday morning) hurts.
I did some research and somehow, I think, I am not a doctor or anything and I hope this isn't the case, but I Think the lining my lungs somehow got inflamed and everytime I touch them with something (i.e expanding my lungs, eating) it hurts.

On the flip side, I am feeling better on a day by day basis, but that's just in general.. my chest still hurts as much as it did, well not AS much but damn near, as it did friday.

what do you think i should do? Do you think it's worth a trip to the doctor?
 

"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.

Maybe you scratched your throat with a tortilla chip?

The doc will probably tell you to wait another week or two so that it can get better on its own. If you can breathe ok, and you are not coughing up blood, you will be fine.

ive scratched my throat with a chip before and everytime i ate or drank or coughed it hurt badly for a week or two and then i was fine. i remember it was painful during that time but it healed on its own.
try to eat soft foods such as soup or pudding or potatoes that wont scratch your throat during this time.

I think i will take a visit to the doctor, my stepmom works for one, I will go visit him and I hope I Just did scratch myself
 

"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.

update:

I am in the hopstial right now, I have to stay at least one night (i am on my laptop, I am so happy they have wifi, I wouldn't know what to do) they are pretty sure it's not cardiovascular but they just want to make sure.

One doctor thinks it's acid reflux and someone else thinks it might be something with my resportory system.

anyway, you will be hearing alot from me today becuase i have absolutly nothing to do here.

oh dude the fvckin sucks, I have acid reflux, and I'm on a generic version of the purple pill. Its a life saver, acid reflux really sucks. I think its something resperatory, cuz that doesnt sound a lot like acid reflux.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I also have acid reflux and it is so awful. When I first starting having problems I thought that it was a heart attack... I also have lactose intolerance...

I didn't say I thought it was acid reflux... unless acid reflux somehow literarly gets acid in your throat and burns it, that's not it.

I actually don't feel half bad now.... execpt for the fact that it hurts to swallow and my tonsils hurt like hell
