"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 go out down town enough that I know some guys who own bars, are well-known bartenders, etc.

I feel no desire to make friends with these people and have had ample opportunity.

I mean, if they're nice guys, I'll say "hey" to them while I'm there, but I'm not looking to use them to climb the social ladder. I don't give a fvck if you're some small-time DJ or anything like that, it isn't important in my life. I'm beginning to realize how fake the entire down town scene actually is, but unfortunately, it's the place to be.

Other notes to add: When I go out, I see that probably 95% of girls/women out there are not worth my time and it's not worth getting to know/putting up with their **** just for a chance at sticking my **** in them. I'd almost rather sit by myself.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this post is other than to ramble. It's Friday and I didn't go out because I slept all day. I generally don't like going out on Fridays and Saturdays because it's too crowded and filled with idiots. I much prefer Tuesdays, Sundays, etc.
 

"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.

Ooh, you've had the opportunity to become friends with bartenders?

You're too good for them.

However, it does help when you take a date out and she sees that other men and women like you and know you by name.
