"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.

There's this one girl I have my eye on. We cross paths frequently but no situations arise that would facilitate our meeting. So I have to make it happen. Basically, whenever I run into this girl, she's doing her own thing. She's usually on her way to somewhere. What's a good way to initiate a conversation without coming off as weird or creepy? I've tried making eye contact a few times but usually she's so absorbed in her own routine that she doesn't even look around at her surroundings.

I know there are some approaches listed here on this site, but does anyone have a tailor made solution for this particular situation?
 

"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.

Hey I see you around here all the time and I'm starting to feel rude not talking to you...


Or the old standby: Hi how are you?
