"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.

If you ask a girl for coffee or whatever, what distinguishes a date from just hanging out?

I have no problem with girls I just met but when you know someone a little bit better and you've spent time together with other friends, it seems as if you would actually have to say it's a date.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Whether something's a date or a get-together or whatever you name is, is determined by the words used. Don't call it a date EVER. It's just a naming convention for it, and when you avoid using the word 'date', it isn't as "charged" as using the word. By using the word 'date' you imply certain expectations.

In essence, hanging out, going on a date, meeting for a coffee all end up being the same. It's just a play of words. Don't make too much of a fuss over it.

Sandhawk is right, it is just a name. I like to think of catching up in terms of whether I can have sex with the girl or not afterwards. If there is a chance of sex I run game, if not...well I still run game so the next time we meet I can have sex with her :D
