"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 haven’t done as much approaches here as I should since I get plenty of dates from online. But I’m thinking of conducting an experiment, do you guys think I should speak English to them right off the bat with my American accent ( I’m Filipino American) or should I talk to them in Tagalog ? Which approach would seem more effective out here. By the way, I’m still dating that same girl I talked about previously, but I want to spin more plates so I don’t become a little needy.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Is your command of Tagalog reasonably strong, or are you more inarticulate than Riley Freeman, whenever he tries his hand at speaking The King's

If the latter, seeking out gals who converse fluently in English seems a much more intelligent bet
