"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.

Friend with benefits, but should I make her my gf?

I have had this friend with benefits for 4 months or so, but its getting increasingly awkward. We are sort of like a couple, but I think she seems more sure about me than I am about her which seems like the way it usually goes with me, but I don't see any other girl I'm currently into. I do think that one day I do want another official girlfriend, but I'm not 100% about her. I feel like I could possibly meet a girl I like better, but if I ask this one to be my gf and I find another one I feel more alike, what should I do?

In short, I often feel attracted to a girl, but never feel she is enough like me for a relationship to work.

Being an AFC sucks, but being a 100 year-old "DJ" by not ever having truly loved is worse and more pathetic, so please don't simply answer with, "Don't get too attached" or something like that. This is a situation I'm commonly in, but have never been sure how to deal with.
 

"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.

Making her your girlfriend isn't going to make a difference just make things more complicated if you decide to leave her.
If you're worried that she might find another guy whos more in to her than you than i guess you should go for it but otherwise id stay clear of making anything official.
