"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.

so theres this girl i met online years ago like 5 or so. she used to call me almost every night but i kind of pushed her away. i just wasn't feeling anything else apart from friendship at the time. that was like the first year we met. but lately this year she's been extra nice and possibly a bit sexual. she doesn't call anymore. i used to call her too but i stopped. just today she suddenly said she wants to write me a letter and send it to me (my house) ... she's sent me a movie once lol. anyway, sometimes we also joke and she talks about something like, if my friend would be with us she'd push me up against a wall and kiss me so my friend would get angry (we always joke about him cause he looks funny).

so yeah i'm kinda confused. is she just being friendly or does she really like me :S

note: she has a few guy friends. she's not really a girly girl (in the head) but she dresses like one. just doesn't act like a dumb blonde b!tch. she's smart and cute and we get along every time we talk. i just don't wanna get confused. last night she text my phone at like 10pm. she does that randomly sometimes. she was drunk though. but she does it too when she's not. she sends me videos of her and her roommate when they do stuff and she showed me a pic of her tits (it was with clothes though she was just showin her dress off) - we tell each other everything, we trust each other... we get along and always laugh. this is doing my head in ;/

any suggestions?

"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.

Have you ever met her in the flesh ? do you like her, do want a sexual relationship with her ? If so you need to esculate things...go for the kiss. You have to take things out of the friend zone you've been in for 5 years.

If she's not interested she'll tell you she just wants to be friends. If this is the case...you can keep her as a friend as long as it's not stopping you from seeking out available women who want an intimate relationship with you.
