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.
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.
Only the ones without jobs.ngl sh.its weird
i mean all the black lives matter and other movements that pop up whenever some group is opressed or whatever
its like citizens in USA have one main aim in life: to protest
Don't forget about the black square virtue signalling keyboard warriors on social mediaOnly the ones without jobs.
Not White supremacists, White Antifa leftists who are currently unemployed and bored from lockdown so they have nothing better to do.People need to turn off CNN. Case in point: My parents thought that the riots in the US were being caused by white supremacists, and neither of them is a leftist.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Because Trump is in power. We had a major protest here in Ontario Canada back June 15, 2000 when we had a crazy conservative government too. The infamous name was Mike Harris and he was like a Trump dividing the province and vilifying the poor. You had people throwing molotov ****tails at the provincial parliament building and wanting an overthrow of the provincial government in a protest/riot in June 15, 2000. An account of this is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Coalition_Against_Poverty . That never happened before, and never happened since after successive liberal governments came into power. Even the current conservative government is not as bad as the past Harris government. When a government is in power by making enemies out of groups of the population then you get riot level protests.ngl sh.its weird

No its not. I am saying one simple fact. There was no riots here since June 15, 2000 because we don't have harsh governments here like that one in the past. How can you twist that up and say something else? You like governments that cause riots like that?This is such bullshyt. You wanna see poor go to other 3rd world countries.
Almost Everyone in Canada and the US have equal opportunity to make it in life. Its a whining game to the poor and its the lazy azz people that wanna take everybody's work.
Too much Soy in this culture.

you know you are just proving one little point, liberals are not people who behave and respect others, every single time a liberal win the right win respect it and try to work with it, the very time the left lose they start to riot nad force people to agree with they view, they can't respect others and the very democratic way they want others to repect when its then in power, every single time the left lose this happen, and not only in canadaBecause Trump is in power.

If a Democrat was in power or even a more sane Republican than Trump there is no way the protest would have been at this level.
When people protest a police killing infront the White House and all you can think about is teargassing peaceful protestors so you can do a photo-op with a Bible and threaten to use the military then you know you do not have a normal president like even Bush. In other States you have voter suppression where they close off polling stations and people feel if they can't vote properly without waiting on a 10 hour line-up, or if the politicians don't want to listen but respond by brute force, then you have protests in that scale.
and also because it a nice way to laundry money, I don't trust NGO the same way I don't trust goverments, they are always full of people who are not honest, criminals and only interested in personal advantages over othersAmerica has movements because it has a lot of problems. And as @corrector said, there would be less protesting if the Federal government wasn’t so bad.
Don’t like the protests? Fix the problems they are protesting about. This isn’t rocket science..

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.

Because the US is the big experiment and determins if that system works and if it works it will become expanded to the whole world.funny how mostly the movements etc. that affect the whole world happen mostly in the US. but when they happen somewhere else, it's like almost nothing (the huge chinese ones being the rare exception, but nothing compared to BLM)...almost as if US doesn't care what's happening outside, but cares a lot when the outside doesn't care what's happening in it
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.
