"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.

As I have said in another post or two, I've been a clothes kick lately. I actually bought some new stuff, and pulled out the stuff in my closet that I haven't worn in a while, "nicer" stuff. My question is, where the hell do you guys wear your nice clothes out to?? At work, I have a certain uniform, and wouldn't want to wear my nicer things anyway for fear of ruining them, then the only other place is a bar, and the occasional house party. So, especially those of you that don't frequent the bar/club scene, where can we show off our new gear??
 

"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.

I personally wear my stuff everywhere I go. Yup even Walmart.
You just have to be extra careful. It's a good habit to get into.

Hahaha, thanks.
Seriously now, is it that strange for Americans to take a walk or just stand for 15 minutes on a bench in some nice square or a park and just enjoy the nice weather, the architecture around or the green grass, smoke a cigarette and watch the people around you?

Everyone does it here in Europe, well maybe except the gay italians.

I wear nice things 24 hours a day. I have a very deep collection of clothes and my wardrobe natrually turns itself over, between my purchases and that of my family during the holidays. Even the clothes I sleep in are of a designer nature.

really?? nice. I just see as a waste to wear my nice clothes out when I'm definitely not going to have to impress anyone. Like work, home, etc.

I think you're missing the point. I don't own "unimpressive" clothing. If I kept all of the clothes I kept stockpiling clothes over the years I'd have no more closet space at all. I even have those space saver hooks for my hangers and vacumm storage bags for sweaters and stuff (don't really need sweaters in the desert too much but I travel from time to time). I get rid of clothes once or twice a year, donate or trash depnding on the quality. What's left is a very impressive set of clothes across the board from top to bottom.
