"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.

Whats the deal with the language barring from here?

Its not like anyone here is pre-adolescent..

and people make the makeshift fvck to represent the original spelling anyway?

Thats like telling your kid..you can smoke all the pot you want, just dont do it in the house or in front of me..
 

"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.

Personally, I don't think adults should ever have a NEED to swear at all. I certainly don't. Just because you're a "grown up adult" doesn't mean you're entitled to "Adultery"! (Poor example there eh?)

Secondly: Some of us use these boards while in work. Lots of workplaces have swear and sex filters. Think about it...

I understand about the work thing..

arent the filters more about websites than catching "phrases" in a web page?

Im not messing with the Mods..just asking
 

"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.

The Idea that the censorship is too much has been tossed around in the suggestions forum. The suggestions in the suggestion & feedback forum are read by admin and sometimes the admin does reply and give his opinion.

Anyway this topic belongs there.

LOL with Cesare Cardinali.

It's a badly-kept secret.
Actually, before I became a mod, I posted something similar in Suggestions and Feedback.

It doesn't really bother me anymore. It's no big deal. I'm sure Allen realises that most of us are grown men, but that's not the reason why the filter's on.

Allen can give you the details (if he can summon the will-power and patience to explain it again for the umpteenth time).

I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may.
