So...your recommendations?
"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.
Good "come over and watch a movie" movies?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

First of all movies, should only be done once in awhile (every 7-8 dates max). You really can't go wrong with a movie if you are a DJ... it's not about the movie it's about you and her. If you are relying on a movie to bring you two together, then you're hopeless. Sometimes it's a good idea to get a movie you know a lot about (enlighten her with something you know).

"Platoon" by Oliver Stone. It will work everytime.
In all seriousness, I would find out what type of movies she likes. You don't necessarily need to watch chick flicks everytime, but I think comedies would be popular with most women. Romantic comedies mixed in with action comedies seems like a winner.

Concert DVDs have been a staple in my repetoire for years.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Movies are for kids!!!! Oh yeah, you are kids!!!
I guess in-home movies have become the modern hor excuse to be alone with her pimp!! Hors know this and they are expecting the pimp to make the move that he has been genetically wired to do!!
I'll bet you that when she comes over to your place that her panties match her bra!!!! Hors know what is going to happen!! Any takers???

Catchy flick and some decent acting.
In my honest opinion, try to make sure its a bad movie. You don't want something very engrossing or you'll have a harder time phase-shifting into intimacy. All the movie is is a pre-text for isolation anyway. If she wants to be alone with you, she'll take the bait, no matter how terrible the movie is.

I agree.
I got away with watching movies like American Psycho and Requiem For A Dream.

I avoid movies unless we're already intimate. Trying to use a movie to get a woman in the mood who isn't already into you via a movie is usually a fools errand.
I have found that watching some of the "reality shows" such as the Real World helps as a catalyst to find out about your girl and what drives her. Shows like that is a emotional time bomb not only for the actors but also for most people who watch the show.
Watch your girl to see how she reacts to the show and listen to what she says. Notice when she sits back and crosses her arms, notice when she sits on the edge of the couch listening intently. These are signs of what ticks her off and what inspires her respectively.
Finally, if you really want to get into her head, during the commercials ask her "So what do you think about that?" Most times she'll tell you in no uncertain terms. The problem would just be getting her to stop.

"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.
