"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.

As a man I would consider myself lucky to even have 4 friends, even having 2 friends makes you considerably luckier then most.

Now having 4 friends is a BIG responsibility and a HUGE strain on myself but it's worth it as you bond through your life etc.

Anyone who says they have more then 7 friends is either a liar or a fool who doesn't know the difference between an acquaintance and a friend.
oh I get what you mean now, you have a high criteria for friend, what would you say makes someone a friend?
 

"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.

30 odd years friendship. Been through hell together and stuck with each other having each other backs, no questions asked. Bleed together. Hunted together. Pride, trust and loyalty.

A friend would tell you the truth even when it hurts you the most.

Basic stuff.
