"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.

Ok it starts with a gradual elevation of attraction.

Theres that one date/hook up.

After that everytime you see each other its all awkward? For no apparent reason too (night before went pretty normal)?

Are there any ways to stop that from happening or some way to break the ice?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

There are lots of reasons why it could happen.

1. You develop oneitis for the chick/she develops oneitis for you.
2. You literally "got lucky" - fool's mate led to the hookup and one of you (probably she) is ashamed.
3. You projected the image of someone you're not, and now feel uncomfortable trying to fit in that role.
4. You're trying too hard.

It could be one or more of these. Do any of them sound familiar?
