"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.

$18.99 for 100 omega-3 fish oil tablets?? $20.00 for a 35 oz container of creatinine? Why do supps cost so much? I'd do better getting my omega-3 from tuna fish.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

$20 for 100 tablets (presumably 1 gram) is way too much. do a search here, we've been talking about this endlessly, and everyone has an opinion on the matter.

getting some omega-3 from tuna fish and o-3 eggs is a great idea, and cost effective.
 

"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.

is the omega-3 hidden in the egg whites or the yolk? usually I ditch the yolk and just stick with the egg whites but I'd like to add some omega-3 in my diet.
Should I eat the entire egg for omega-3?

I get the cheapo stuff from wal-mart and so far I can complain. That is unless someday I'm diagnosed with mercury poisoning.

according to a site that simon linked to, walmart's should be okay. in fact, most of the problems I've seen are attached to fancy-sounding overpriced brand names.

The Carlson Laboratories fish oil are supposedly the best but veryhigh priced.I just bought the solaray salmon oil but found out from a report that they are tainted w/mercury...back to the Sam's club fish oil for now.
 

"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.
