"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's a good website to get non-trendy clothes?

I'm personally getting tired of the whole Abercrombie/Hollister style I've had since like 7th grade. I know this style has its place when on dates and such to wear nice shirts and nice pants, but day in and day out it just gets sickening. I need something new and different...and non-trendy please!!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

For casual stuff, I have been shopping at Lucky Brand for years now. I have so many of their t-shirts it's nuts. I have some jeans and jackets from them too, but those are mostly from years ago. I still say check out their t-shirts and go when they have a sale (which is quite often lately).

Their current selection is not quite good, but the collection I've amassed is pretty sweet.
