"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.
Do women tell you that other guys hit on them?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Or I say "get over yourself" in a half joking way so I dont sound like a complete *sshole.

Misinterpret everything as she is hitting on you:
"are you trying to make me jealous, i'm not that easy."

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
That is already given, what needs to be figured out as to why they want you to know that.WalkingStick said:
Its all about the context and your position when she tells you this.
If you are one of her bestest friends (which means she doesn't find you attractive and you have zero chance of getting into her pants) she will tell you this because she sees you as one of the girls and there is nothing better for one chick telling another how much she is wanted. If she is a cruel one then she might be telling you this to make you squirm because she knows you want her and it gives her some sick pleasure to see you feeling anxious and worried (yes some women are like that).
However if you are not her close friend, it might mean something different. She might be telling you this because she likes you and this is a womense translation for: "hey listen, I am wanted by other guys so you better ask me out before its too late". Essentially she is trying to market herself to you.
