"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 Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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?
