"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 think my buddy that was with me is more bothered by this. He went out of town (he's an out of town college student and had planned to leave before this incident but to come back on Thursday), and still hasn't came back. He also goes to this bar much more often than I do. He normally goes about every Sunday or Monday and I haven't been going out those nights. I don't go out on Sundays and Mondays much anymore and now I'd feel like I should go just to back my buddy up. I don't know what my buddies going to do.

As far as this beligerant guy, I don't think he'll start stuff again but you never know. And this time he might get back up or bring a weapon. All I know is if I do go there and this guy tries to start something, I'm probably going to slugging him come what may.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I just smile and nod man.. until that cat makes the wrong move there's no reason to even sweat it... I have been in many "confrontations" at bars and have never once had to hit anyone even during my stint as a bouncer.
