"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.

ok, so have my first "date" since my nasty breakup a lil while back. im thinkin playing a lil pool, and telling her if she plays her cards right, we can grab a bite.

the beauty is that i met her through a friend, so i already got plenty of info on her. so i have a bit of an upperhand (what kind of food she likes the most, which happens to be mine).

i know i will want to grab food cuz 1. im always hungry 2. she is a real cool chick( we have hung in a group once), and i know she will be good company.

any tips/thoughts on my get together idea for someone just getting back into the game?
 

"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.

1. Play it cool- no need to panic. If things don't work out, then "Así es la vida."

2. Have fun- If you don't enjoy yourself, then what's the point?


Go give'm hell.
