"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.

could this be a sign of attraction?

I recently ran into an old fling at the bar (we had dated on and off for a while) and decided to talk to her even it was a little awkard at first...

eye contact was good, not intense but not minimal... i noticed her play with hair a few times (she seemed to be doing that in general though, even when talking to her female friends)

Here's what really made me wonder if she was interested though, when we were talking she brought up a few old memories of when we were dating. I'm wondering if this could be a sign of attraction or some sort of interest?

The stories she brought up happened two and a half years ago, so am I wrong to take it as a good sign she still remembers me so well and is comfortable bringing it up? I'm curious, let me know

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

BRO!! she brought up memories that happened 2 and a half years ago!! lol so im gonna go out on an limb and say SHES INTERESTED lol

but that could also mean that u were soo boring that she had to bring up events that happened 2+ years ago to keep the convo somewhat interesting.

I don't think she mentioned the past because the conversation was boring. We were talking about family friends, and she brought up a story from the day she met them at a BBQ a few summers ago. She basically just changed the conversation to bring up a nice memory. Afterwards, a few other things that happened while we were dating got mentioned, from either me or her. Before that, we had pretty much never discussed anything from our past relationship.

I'm trying to figure out if her bringing up the past is any kind of remote sign of interest, anybody got any ideas?
