"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.

What do you do for a tan during the winter?

Hey, I've noticed my tan from the summer's been fading a lot recently (which means soon I'll be quite pale :(). Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Is it still possible to get a tan during the colder months when it's not so sunny but still a clear day?

I'm only really concerned about my face and I'd rather not consider sun beds because of health risks. Any help appreciated :)
 

"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.

"Build a tan" type self-tanners. Without them I would look like the living dead.

Tans in winter are like wearing black socks with shorts something just seems off about it. I wouldn't keep a constant tan or people will look at you funny.

But yes, you can still get a tan on a clear day. Even better go on holiday to somewhere nice and warm.

I like Neutrogena Build a Tan

http://www.drugstore.com/qxp86939_333181_sespider/neutrogena/build_a_tan.htm

$10 and it should last for a few weeks just using it on your arms and head like I do.

And I disagree that a tan looks odd in the winter. Even though I live in Florida I would still use this to at least give a bit of color. You don't wanna look like an oompa-loompa, but a touch of color keeps a person looking healthy.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
