"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Well Guys, after 3 and half weeks of no contact the Ex text me this evening out of the blue.
Here it is
"Hi there!, How are ya? Im sorry i havent been in touch, meant to text before this.ill have that money on thurs for ya, that ok? how have you been?"
My Reply an hour later
"Hey XXX, Yeah in great form, cant complain. No Hassle, sure give it to xxx and he can pass it on"
Her reply "yep will do no bother"
She owed me some cash which i loaned to her when we were going out, my mates shares house with her.
Do you think that was ok, i think so??
Out of the blue today she text me again asking "Hi, Sorry for boterin ya,was just wondering if you were free to drop down later?"
I think she is freaking out that i havent contacted her, text her when i was drunk, acted AFC and begged for her not to go.
So you think i should reply?

NO not yet she is testing to see how fast you will jump to her call.HBK said:

you did the right thing with your text - acting casual and not jumping up and down to her call. The minute she knows you have other girls on the cards she will be JEALOUS.
are you going to meet her on your terms once you have some time free up in the future? meet up and sus her out. go grab a quick coffee and after half an hour say, well it was lovely seeing you, but I have to go meet a friend at x o'clock. maybe we can do this again sometime when we're both free.
main objective - b@ng her, whilst seeing other chicks.
I thought it would be one of two things, one i hope that we can be friends and i dont want things to be awkward, or two i miss you and i want to get back with you..
Turns out she wants to to give it a second try. Im sorry, I miss you, I regret what i did, are you seeing anyone? hope you can forgive me! etc...Bascially she told me she was going through some hard times because it was her moms anniversary at the time and her new job was stressing her out. She asked me do i still care about her, and i said i dont know. I countered with the fact i was her BF and if she had problems, or wanted space she should have talked to me rather then push me away...I asked her what would stop her from breaking up in a month times again, she had no reply only "i wouldnt, i realised what i lost"..Long story short i told her id think about it. I was cool, polite and just listened to what she had to say and left. No Kiss, no hug just left. She seemed Sincere and Genuine, but i left her with the feeling that i wasnt going to be made a fool of or going to put up with any nonsense.
Well there you go lads, Shoot me down
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
