"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 went outside today.. there is a park a couple of blocks away from where i live so i decided to go there and hang out.. i was on my way when i saw a HB7. I said, screw it, let's get it on..Iwent up to her and asked her if she knew where (name of a certain place) was.. she said "you gotta' go straight from where you are heading to, take the hill and you'll see the diner.." and so on.. so then i said "that's too much info, why don't you take me there?" and she told me she would but it's too far and she gotta go meet up with someone, so i told her "alright then" (i didn't feel that happy about saying it)..anyway, after i asked her if she used to go to this HS, and said "yea for a while and i left" and i asked why and it went on.. and then we ended off.

I skipped alot of parts because i didn't really learn anything
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
