"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've been talking and dating this girl for quite a while...2/3 weeks or so and well at first we hit it off very well. we have a myriad of things in common, she's beautiful and intelligent. keeper? not sure, but a great companion for now. but as of late she's been ultra flakey. never returns my calls-actually text messages me and tells me sorryshe didn't call back...? then she asks me if i'm busy later and i tell her no and that she should call me. i know i should call her, but it's really irritating, and i think she's either testing me for insecurities or blowing me off the nice way, which wouldn't be suprising cuz' she's very nice. anyway, what do you think i should do? ignore her til' she calls or shall i call her and let her know how i feel about her flakiness already?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Flakiness is a sign of low interest. I'd back right off.

It sounds like she's doing all the things you should be doing.
