"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.

Not opposed to it I guess, and I'd consider it a good sign if she wants to spend money on you, just wondering how you guys handle it? It's been happening quite often...three out of last four dates.

However, on other hand I guess I could be seen as cheap if I let them buy it on a first date, but its not like I am asking them to do it, they are offering.

Did have a situation occur where the woman said I'll buy it but you have to go get it...sh!t test?

Thoughts overall?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Buy the second round.
I always buy the first round without hesitation...it usually happens on the second round when they offer, sometimes the 3rd...

I buy the first round and then expect them to at least offer to buy the second.

Don't see anything wrong with them offering to buy you a drink as long as you don't explicitly ask them to. They wouldn't offer buy a drink for someone they aren't interested in, plus it might help them get a little invested in you...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I don't think it matters that much in a situation like this, though I always pay... the cost of a drink isn't worth really worrying about one way or the other and while there is virtually no chance you turn a girl off by offering to pay, there's a chance (often a good one, depending on your frame/the girl/the situation/where you are geographically) you'll come off as a cheap bastard if you don't pay, so if the cost of the drink won't change your life, might as well pay.
