"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 is the US looking to buy oil from Venezuela and Iran?

When we could buy oil from Canada?

The Keystone pipeline is sitting there, mostly unused.

The Canadian government is our ally, Venezuela and Iran are ENEMIES of the US.

Yet here we are...

Maybe you know more about this than I do - lets discuss.
 

"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.

Decisions made that lack in reality, logic, national security, and common sense can not be explained or worked around …
Per forum rules, try to keep politics out of this thread.

Cause the oil lands of Canada is the one part of the provinces that the government doesn't want to become enriched or powerful. That's the actual reason why. Canada is much of a dictatorship as the UN.

@Billtx49 This is technically a politics question so you won't be able to avoid it. Unless you can give specifics as to what dictates politics vs general discussion.

Simple. Keep the discussion focused on oil production, transfer, and marketing, distribution, etc.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

More on the topic: The Keystone is linked to Canada. There are some weird forces moving right now in the world, and one of them is usually the battle for oil supremacy. Oil runs the world market, with medicine right behind it [if you include the black market, human trafficking and drugs lead instead]. Key interests in the government want to keep competition down, so they keep their own lands [Canada and US] from creating oil so that they can make more profit off foreign resources instead [this is also where treasony actions come into play with said people being bought by non-domestic individuals]. It's sadly the government not wanting certain powers to become stronger domestically while others get fat off their own machinery going on outside said countries.

If we wanted, we could buy oil from Canada and locally today. Unfortunately, special interests will not allow it cause there's more than one war going on.

Because oil is sold on the global market so that oil companies can make as much profit as possible. And your government subsidizes it.

The solution: get off oil.
