"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’m casually dating a woman at the moment and looks wise i couldn’t ask for more , shape on her is perfect and physically we couldn’t be a better match

Its just mentally i feel like we could connect a little better ........at the moment the pure attraction between us just seems to be overruling everything else and as a result we can’t seem to get a meaningful conversation going

its weird to explain and i haven’t really had anything like this before

basically i just want her to open up to me i want to get a better understanding of who she is instead of just messing & joking about all the time :rolleyes:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

She may just be introverted or maybe she doesn't understand who she it? Majority of my exs were introverted, sometimes there just really isn't much going on there. The tend to have boring hobbies, IMO. A lot of broads have boring lives and end up adopting the likes of who ever they are dating. I prefer extroverted chicks but the kicker is sometime it's to much to handle for me. She's creating a challenge and it's working on you, keepin you interested by being aloof! She may just have some baggage she is trying to hide until the right time? Who knows dude you'll find out eventually.

Try active dates, darts, pool, shuffle board..lol maybe she will open up then?

One day, while you guys are casually hanging out, mention something serious or tragic that happened to you in the past. You have to casually drop it in so it doesn't seem forced.

This forum seems like it has improved from one or two years ago.
