"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.

This thread is mainly for Americans but anyone can post. Don't be a jackass and turn it into a political or conspiracy theory thread.

I was a freshman in high school in bed. Our high school ran on a "split" schedule where we have four classes one day, and four the other day, and on that particular day I had a "late arrival" instead of a first period class. It was just before 9 AM Pacific time, and my mom knocked on the door to tell me to come downstairs and check the news.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I was in middle school in gym and the school went on lockdown so we got to play basketball for awhile. Then my mom showed up to check us out not out of fear but my parents wanted to be sure my sister and I were watching the news since it was a moment in history

In class, teacher wheeled the tele into the room.

Most kids went outside (school got cancelled) but me and another kid stayed in and watched the 2nd plane hit. Kind of happy I stayed and saw what happened in real time, but I still get angry seeing videos of it.
