"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.

I broke up with my ex about a year ago, had pretty bad oneitis, after we broke up, got pretty depressed. But its true, that time heals everything, i wheeled other girls. I thought of her from time to time. Anyways I didn't see her for 8 months. We talked about getting together, on friendly basis a couple of time , but it never happened. Well we had more contact lately, and we finally hung out. We were both a couple beers deep, but it felt like absolutely nothing had changed. It felt like we were back together again. We ended up making out on my bed...Anyways we made plans that night, to hang out the next 2 nights, but she flaked on both of them...How should i approach this, assuming my goal is to get back together with her...Should i act disinterested, and make her iniate the next get together?
 

"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.

make her initiate the next get together, if she doesnt seem interested at all its not worth it, she possibly might just want to hook up with you from time to time but this is a tricky one, depends on how long you guys dated, if it was for a long time (i.e. 1 year or more) then there could be a chance, if not your going to have to observe if she is interested or not

1. She flaked because she let herself fall for you, (and you should know how much of a nono that is for a girl), so at the moment, she's honestly all fuggled up over you. If you still can talk to her (by phone or what not), the number one thing NOT TO DO is to bring it up again. Rather, be aloof, fluff her up, flirt/tease mildly again, and [Keyword] 'invite' her to do something. That means "Hey, I was heading out to do...___, and I was just wondering if you'd like to tag along". She declines, dont' worry about it, she joins in, you got yourself a little date again.

2. No, perfectly fine ;)
