"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 am confused by this.

Here's the background.

She's studying for LSAT and I have jack **** to do.

She's studying til late tonight and I call her to see what's up and she didn't pick up. Her sound and vibrate was off so didn't know and she sends me a message back explaining and sort of hints to call her back.

So, I send her a message back.

I only had an hour of sleep last night, so I'm gonna pass out. Call you tomorrow.

Does this sound douchee and inconsiderate?
 

"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.

No. Its fine. Dont even waste time in your own head trying to figure out if it was bad or not. If she has a problem with this response Id consider that a red flag.

Men are not women, This is trivial. Don't think so much.

Don't obsess about being too nice. They sure as hell don't.
