Would you read much into this. You're out to eat with a girl and the check comes.You go and pay it and she says "that's too much of a tip" Now the bill was 24 and change, so I left 30. Maybe there was nothing to it, but it seemed like a strange comment. Does that seem to suggest a controlling or self-centered type? Would you make anything of that?
"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.
