"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.

why do insurance companies not look after current good paying companies? but offer new customers good incentive then the current customer gets racked off?

why do agencies not look after their hard working warehouse staff, fck their shifts around.....yet they are constantly looking for new staff as half the staff say "fck this???"......all the training for new staff is hassle in itself, why not look after the current staff

Im interested in the pysch behind this?

"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.

Companies prefer new employees because they're cheaper. The more years someone works for a company, the more they get raises and benefits can kick in. So they appreciate the cheaper labor. It's the bottom line.

Loyal customers get “rewarded” with price increases. They figure you’re too busy to switch, so they will try to milk more out of you each year.

Back in high school, I was told that my car insurance rates were high because I was young, but it would go down when I turn 25. I’m almost 44, never been in a accident, and have seen rate increases every single year no matter which company I select lol.
