"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.

Last weekend a friend had a bbq and afterwards he and his wife and 2 of her friends(one of whom theyre trying to set me up with) all played a few party games. Anyways to fast forward not much happened but the next day he told me she said I was cute and had a lot of fun. He's setting up a double date for dinner this weekend. Does this sound like a bad idea since we haven't had a chance to hang out one on one or should I just take the opportunity and see what happens? My worry with the double date is that it could be awkward and we wont get much of a chance to get to know eachother.

You're kinda setting yourself up for failure by thinking that way already.

If you met her already in person and she's good friends with your friend, then go for it i say.

keep it light and fun.

I could go either way. To be positive Id say at least with the double the 4 of us could feed off of each others conversations so less chance of any awkward silences. Im sure we could still get to know one another and if dinner goes well maybe we could break off and do something one on one afterwards.
