"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.
Guilty or Not Guilty?

"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.

Umm...do you live in fort collins? Cause that would be crazy if you did.
i just have to say.... that writer should be fired. after reading the first few paragraphs i had no clue what the hell was going on.
number one rule of journalism.... explain to your reader the background of what you are about to discuss.
this moron opens with a quote, which while providing some detail, isn't clear enough for the reader to understand what exactly happened.
as for guilty or not guilty.... no one has the right to kill someone else unless their own physical safety is in jeapordy.
