"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.

I see in many of your meal plans a number of you have beef/veggies as an option. Well first off I don't know how to cook much. When you guys are eating veggies is it just like canned corn or peas because thats the only thing I can think of to cook.
 

"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.

make a salad, best and easiest option. Doesn't need to be huge.

1) a rice cooker with a steamer attachment.
2) frozen broccoli / cauliflower

Drizzle a little bit of olive oil and salt and pepper to flavor. Delicious snack.

btw if you boil veggies don't do it too long, it sucks out all the good nutrients and vitamins you want out of them.

Someone mentioned salads, salads are an excellent choice. You can put pretty much and veg and/or fruit in them. I like to sub spinach for lettuce sometimes.

Also, you can add vegies to your sanwhiches, pretty simple.
 

"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.

Dude don't be such a lazyass! :crackup:

Personally, I would stay away from canned. Fresh are...fresh, which is about as good as it gets...frozen are pretty good, right up there, most are flash frozen and minimally processed...the only thing is, fresh veggies are the cheapest, lb per lb. Get a wok or a large pan, heat up olive oil and throw on your veggie or veggies of choice and cook them slowly and season as you see fit, salt, pepper, garlic, etc....I would hesitate to even call this cooking! At the most this will take you 10-15 minutes and you can even make a surplus and store the rest as left-overs. Don't make a habit of canned corn.

yeh but only b/c people expect cooking to be hard. it's not, or rather, it doesn't have to be. ain't rocket science.
