"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.

hey, I messed up bumping into this girl after an exam, I was going to get her number then, somehow I messed up my timing.


I decided to email her since I didnt see her around the rest of the day and its the end of the semester already

what do you think?

Tried to catch you after the exam this morning but I ran into my advisor.
Call me about dinner plans tomorrow night. Do you like seafood?

Why avoid her? Why not ask her outright?

cause im not going to see her, she was in my class, but today was the exam, so we arent gonna be in class together anymore.

If i was going to see her, I'd ask her then. I was gonna ask her today after the exam but she took forever

you did fine -short and direct is how it should be. Although going for dinner was a little bit much, it makes alarms go off in her head. "uh-oh, dinner. this guy I'm not even (yet) attracted to wants to take me on a DATE." Better to mask your intentions behind 'hangin out' until you've actually got her hot for you.
