"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.

had a little conveersation, nothing big. she seemed interested, she wasnt in a rush to hang up the phone, in fact i probably could have talked for a lot longer than i actually did. but i was pretty nervous and my mind kinda blanked. she could probably tell i was nervous. i asked her if she was busy this weekend and she tells me that she doesnt know yet and that i should call her at the end of the week to find out. were i in my right mind i would have said something like "you just want me to call you again" with a smug sound to it but i was nervous.

think my chances with her were hurt? doesnt seem like it to me but hey im new at this.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You just gainned more experience from that one phone conversation than an hour of reading on this website.

Feel good about it.

It seems like you always come up with those witty lines after talking with a girl. It still happens to me all the time. But dont let that bother you, it didnt hurt your chances.

dont you think its too soon to be calling her again? i just asked her last night and if someone called me the next day id start to feel like im being hounded. i dont think i was giving her power. everyone has things to do. i dont really like the idea of giving her the ultimatum of dropping her previous plans for some guy she just met. ill always lose that deal.

i like to think that since she invited me to call back instead of just saying shes busy and leaving it at that that shes interested

by the way i used this for the most part http://www.sosuave.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000685.html
