"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.

If a girl takes you out to eat and pays...is that like giving you confirmation to screw?
She casually took me out multiple times, for sandwiches, you know, nothing fancy.
Now I'm thinking I should have at least made out with her lol
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Ask yourself, if you would want to take a girl out (not as friends) and pay for her multiple times, would you do it out of pure kindness or because you wanted something from her (fvck)?
She's making an investment because she sees value (you). Good position for you. Make a move next time.

Also, don't wait for confirmations to do X Y Z. Do what you feel like doing and see how it's going.

...well....I'm no hobo...lol.
As for the fact that she did it repeatedly because she saw value in me....in hopes that I kiss her or give her my life.
That's like buying my love isn't it?
I did think she was nice and wanted to hang out and chill with a quality dude and offering to pay would be easier for me to say yes to, instead of going to the gym or hanging with my Bros or family.

"Thanks for treating me to lunch. Come to my place _________ night and we´ll watch a movie and drink some wine".

U r welcome.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Don't forget company.
Some just can't go anywhere alone. Even if she doesn't see you as dating material, she may see you as a seat filler and she can rent you here and there.

I advise making the girl pick up the check, as a matter of course...if you can get away with it
@ShePays I would NEVER have expected that from you

If we assume that she's attractive, which we always do here, then she got orbiters lined up for that exact purpose. And she will sure as day let them pay to be in her company, or at most split the bill. This one wants the D(eliverance).

I've been in this situation before several times.

If a chick treats you well when you go out it means:

1) She makes good money
2) She wants to f*ck
3) She values your time
4) She's investing in you
5) You've got the upper hand

On the looks scale, you're probably somewhere above her.
Like maybe she's a 6 and she thinks you're a 10

seat filler .....what do we mean by seat filler?

She has friends... and family, supposedly that fill those "seats"....
And if she thinks I'm above her on looks, and she knows that,...why would she put herself in a situation where I am a in control.



Low self esteem....
Really trying to tie me down, in the wrong way?
I mean, she doesn't even hug me or punch me in the shoulder or anything.
I figure she was maltreated before and I'm just the Right guy to bring her back to human kindness.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Not confirmation, but I'd say the odds are in your favor.

Why haven't you?

I gotta say, this sounds like you're very shy, passive and insecure. You're looking for confirmation/permission to escalate, you won't take even a slight risk and you seek certainty.

Let me tell you, there is never certainty with these things unless she makes the first move which is generally unlikely. You need to man up and make a move, someone has to go first and usually it's expected the man to do so. Be a man and take the hint.

If she has to force it by going first you'll become less appealing to her. Reading the hints and taking the risk is sexy, best way to show that you are socially competent and have the balls.

Continuing to be passive about this will either land you firmly in the friendzone or she'll lose interest completely and ghost you.

....it's not that I don't "man" up...
I legit think that she was hurt before and hence needed a friend more than she needed a guy to pump and dump....
Not that I'm a jerk, but she doesn't match my perspective of a long term partner.
For example, she is not funny at all.
Very sweet and kind ...and I hope she doesn't think that those qualities plus taking someone out to eat and a movie are qualities to ensure a happy relationship.
I am used to girls slobbering like Dutch hounds, but even casually brushing my shoulder...which she hasn't done.
All she did was pick me up, stop by the drive thru, go see a movie...not even once brushed her hand against mine.
I know she's not a virgin...
Hence my curiosity about it all.
I take it as some girls pay for things...unless I'm not seeing what you guys see

it seems this is you OP.

YOU should be the one to initiate physical contact. A man LEADS (aka: initiates)

Be a man and initiate or drop her (so she can go find someone to reciprocate her signs of interest)

I've somewhat been in the OP's position. It's a mixture of uninterested girls always offering to pay for drinks so that they owe me nothing (but would interested girls offer to pay too? I don't know...) and attention whöres leading me on with IOIs only to shut me down when I make a move.

A toxic cöcktail of uncertainty. It makes me less brazen in escalating, as I suspect she's just another attention whöre.

OP, follow Dr.Rocanlover's advice and invite her over. Tell her to bring something sweet to eat so she'll continue to invest in you. Sit alongside her and lean into her and see if she leans back.
