"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

just go to college and work part time. If you work first you're just going to be working a job that you hate and probably making no more than $15 an hour. Just go to school for 4 years, get a job you love, and wind up making more than that. When you start school late (like me) you're gonna wind up graduating when you're 25 when you could have a masters by that age.

Do what you prefer or what you're obligated to.. But if I had the oppurtunity I would definitely just do school first.

Are your peers the type of people who have career goals, or are your peers the type who want to get married at 22 and start popping out 10 kids to live in their 2-bedroom house?

College, by no means, is a guarantee of success. But a college degree provides you with options. I feel that skipping college might limit you.

But, do whatever suits your lifestyle.

Yup, you can get a degree.. But if you don't know how to market yourself with that degree and network, it'll get you nowhere.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

everyone's right, school should be done first... If you'll get an associate/bachelor's/masters degree you'll get higher pay... If you have financial concerns, don't worry about it... There are a lot of scholarships you can take advantage of... Try surfing the net for financial assistance for school.. One you can try out is collegeoptions.us and their college representatives will help you out... Do good in school and you'll see success in the future... Smiley
