"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.

Hey guys,

This girl that I'm interested in loves suprises. Since I know her sister, I was planning on leaving something at her house on Friday so that she would see it when she gets home.

My first impulse was roses. However, roses are ****he’ . I want to go with something more original.

I would really like to come up with something, but I was hoping you guys could give me some advice, or share your ideas of what could be done. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hmm... some date proposal?

Concert tickets? Some sport game tickets? Movie tickets?

*shrug* I dunno, I'd just surprise her by making a move like asking her out. :)

Good ideas.

But I guess I should have made something clear. Her and I are kind-of dating as it stands. I'm caught up in this weird love-triangle.. and I'm trying to help turn the tides.

That's why asking her out would work, but I want her to know that I was thinking about her enough to suprise her.

And concert tickets is an awesome idea, but we're already going to a concert in March.
 

"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.
