"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.

This could be interesting (no April 1st)

Background: About a week ago, I got a little bored looking for an apartment in online classifieds, and ended up in looking through the other categories. While checking out 'physical training', there happened to be an ad for 3 girls looking for a pole dancing instructor, to help them get in shape -- who also offered to host lessons at their place, since they'd thoughtfully bought a full-size regulation pole. I thought it had to be a joke. I (in my infinite wisdom) thought it'd be funny to set up a shell company email and ask them about their skill level and schedule, just to see what they'd say.

Well -- lo and behold -- I have a response. It looks like the ad was actually legit. They're a little out of practice but know the fundamental moves -- spin, inversion, blah blah blah -- and just need some help to put together a routine.

My brother suggested just rick-rolling them but now I feel kind of bad about it. There's no school or classes in town -- maybe I could actually set up a school and actually turn the joke legit?

I kind of feel like... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6_pv_vRHKI

This is developing slowly. I've talked with 2 pole dancing schools about 2-3 hours away who are interested in expanding to where I live. The big issue is there's not enough existing clientele to run a devoted studio -- so any classes would have to run out of an existing dance studio as another discipline. Interestingly it seems like this is a fad (hot yoga?) with some momentum so maybe if I'm ahead of the curve I could clean up on it. Ha!

I encouraged the three girls to become instructors. I can't see myself staying involved in this long, since I have nothing at stake and will get cut out very quickly if it actually works and people start making real money... but man it's a great story! I really hope they're down with it.

At least I can use this opener: "Hey you're cute and seem like a cool girl... would you like to try taking a pole dancing workshop I organised? No, I swear, it's real" XD
