"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.

Ive been looking for a casual leather jacket for a while, I really like the biker ones with the stripe going across kinda like this:

but I want one with a red stripe.
If anyone watched Real World San Diego, the guy... im pretty sure his name was brad had one exactly like what im describing. Ive tried looking in stores but no luck, anyone know of an online place that would have it?

I think they need a better model for that jacket...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I saw the one your talking about at wilson leather, and btw i see dudes rocking that jacket all the time and its very corny looking in my opinion. I even saw one at this rugged pawn shop downtown.

I was shopping at the mall today and saw something that looked very similiar at a store called "WILSON's LEATHERS"

they were on sale for $99.00 [regularly $300]

the style of leather motorcycle jacket had a two inch wide "red" racing stripe from the shoulders and along the arms, it looked very sporty, a nice casual jacket.

the red racing strip on the shoulder and arms looked better in my opinion, the leather also felt soft and comfortable.

they didnt have any with the wide stripe on the chest, only the narrow stripe on the arms and shoulder.
 

"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.
