"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.

Vote For The Worst: Sanjaya

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I dont watch the show or live in the US, but the idea of creating a website encouraging everyone to vote for the worst contenst is pure comic genius. I would surely vote for the least talented or ugliest contestant.

Reminds of the show Superstar USA where they purposely took the most inept and told had them compete for stardom. The audience was in on the gag and everything... it was pretty funny at first, and the contestants legitimately had a great time even iof they were being lied to, but of course there is a sense of guilt. I had trouble watching the last show - imagine being the guy who has to break the news to the winner: we picked you precisely because you have no talent, every judge and audience member lied to you.

Yikes.
