"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 all.

Well two days ago, my eyelid was sore. It hurt to the touch, etc.

This has been going on since, but today i noticed that there is a bumb of sorts on my eyelid. I'm kinda worried.

I'm thinking it may be a zit or something, but if you guys have any ideas of what it is, i'd appreciate it.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I remember one of my homeboyz in highschool had that on his eye. He said it was called a "Sky" or sumthin like that. It started off lookin like a lil zit but after a couple weeks it was huge and nasty looking. He went to the doc and got sum medicine for it. The medicine made it open up and the hard stuff inside came out. Then it was cool after that.

While he had that on his eye he was a chump with low self-esteem & no confidence.

Now that its gone hes the same over confident ******* like b4.{glad to see him as his old self again}

People with no self-confidence are annoying to be around! So if thats what happens to ur eye don't let it effect ur confidence.

A "sty". It's an infection which is why puss (that hard stuff) comes out of it.

Had a sty myself. Go to a doc and get some antibiotics to treat it.

I used to take antibiotics for my acne(which didn't help). I drank as much as ever and never had a problem.

If theres alot of pollution in the air, or if I go out without sunglasses on, I have the same problem. If the smog is really bad then I get bumps on my tongue and cannot speak without alot of pain.

Sucks.:(
 

"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.
