"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.

hey guys

I have been eating whey + oatmeal + 4 eggs for breakfast.

I find it very difficult to "fold in" my whey and stir it in. I get these dry chunks of whey and have to spend 5 minutes or so smashing them up. My question is, how do you guys blend your whey and oatmeal??

This morning I tried using a blender and got this thick pasty stuff that was diffficult to get down, but I ate it anyways. Let me know so I can make good oatmeal whey to eat :) thanks
 

"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.

Sounds like blending should do the trick, just put in more water.

be carefull cooking your oatmeal with whey in it. keep in mind that whey cooks at a certain degree losing its nuritional table (thats why protein bars are never baked)

no, I cook my oatmeal first. Then I put it in a blender and add the whey and blend.

it came out all thick and weird though. I was very hard getting downbecause it was like eating paste. hmm i guess it's comparable to eating cookiedough or something, but more fluid like
 

"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.

Don't make oatmeal. Get plain oats. Put them in a cheap coffee bean grinder dry. This will give you a powder. Then put the oat powder in your shake. This is the easiest way i've found for eating a good deal of oats in the shortest amount of time.
