"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What countries have you been to?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"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.

Probably the United States, but only because they have both Disney and Universal Parks. If that want a factor for me, It would be harder to choose a favorite

I arrive on Christmas Day back to the states in the evening. Hate The Air Port experience, Im not a big fan of riding 12 hour flights anymore and having to go through annoying TSA in Dallas.
"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.

Man one of the things Ive noticed since coming back to the states, is the people tends to be living in their own cocoon man. I just invited a few friends for dinner at a pub and they all canceled. Abroad this is not the case, I always have someone available to join me, even if it’s one person. We totally need to come out of our shell and live harmoniously in a virtuous manner so things can progress around here.

Yeah mon. I never got there but the southern Caribbean is great. Martinique was cool, island climate but French culture. The pastry was amazing but their body odor was rank.

Id like to visit Toronto someday and see how Liberal and artistic and trendy it actually is in person. I sense the people there are more open to have a conversation with you on the streets depending on the vibe of the venue.
"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.

Toronto is very diverse, maybe you might meet people within your own community here.

Yeah I thought about visiting, I have an aunt who lives there. Yeah I bet it’s just as diverse as Los Angeles but a little more pleasant and less polluted lol. Seems like a city where you can make a large social circle at your convenience in no time.

I don't have experience or bandwith to confirm or deny that...but I think if you are a clear ethnic (ie you are SE Asian) and connect with your own community there then you should do great. When I did have more bandwith in the past I wouldn't say it's easier to form social circles than another place, like the Philippeans. Life is hard here for allot of people and therefore tend to be in their own worlds. Most of non-chad reports of the place here generally has been negative. That's why I feel if I visited a South American country like Brazil or Carribean like Domenican Republics, or South East Asia, I would tend to be more social since that's more normalized in those places. Here is still mostly business mode most of the time.
