"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.

Is it awkward if I call a girl without a reason? Right now this girl is busy with intersession classes. She is done on Thursday and will be going home for a week. She comes back the end of the month for winter session.

I want to contact her cuz the last time I spoke to her was Saturday when we went out.

I felt like I should call her. Should I call just to talk (and see if she says anything about hanging out) or ask her to hang out before she goes home? She mentioned she needed help setting up something. Maybe I should ask if she needs help with that?

I dont care if I hang out with her now or when she comes back. I just want to keep her interested in me while shes back at home.
 

"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.

YES!

This is what causes guys so much trouble. They know that they need to do something but they have no idea how to do it. You are absolutely right that you need to contact her in order to keep her interested.

There you go. You can spend time with her there...and maybe after setting up go out for a bite to eat or movie or a little private time together.
