"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'm going out on a first date with a girl this weekend. i wanted to do something fun, so i chose ice skating. afterwards, i was going to grab some ice cream.

problem is that the ice skating rink and ice cream place have different times of operation and i would only be able to get ice cream with her if we go before we go ice skating...

is it dumb to get ice cream before the action part of the date? i mean, i just don't want her to get bored right off the bat...

i'm probably over-analyzing this too much, but what would you guys do?
 

"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.

i don't think ice cream after skating in 0 degree weather is what the doctor ordered, just the ice skates, videocamera, and anal nitrate should be enough

Then you can offer to teach her and by doing so get crapload of kino. Works really great.

I would go with Julian's idea.

It's good if she can't skate :D Coz what you do is you "teach" her. Hold their hands and skate in backward infront of them, or say "Here I'll hold your waist so you don't fall" ;)
