"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 was set up on a blind date last weekend. S'ppsedly, the girl is interested, she even made an effort to meet up this wknd as well.
Afterward, I told her I would give her a call this week to set something up for next wknd. I am not really interested in dating her, but just interested in hanging out and having some fun. Really only want to just hook up.
However, she lives in Chicago and I live in Indiana, so I have to make an hour drive to her turf.

I am planning on texting her to set something up, but not sure what to do/say as I would be making the drive to Chicago.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I would at least get a photo of the chick. That's too much traveling to meet what could potentially be a mud duck. Never buy property unseen.

Mud Duck...Hah!

Yo Blackmm,

I can tell you're another "brotha'" from around the way. Because I thought only us bruhs down here in the deep and dirty south used that term. It looks like I was wrong.

Funny! Much RESPECT to you.

Anyway, back on the subject:

I agree with Blackmm. Except I'd even take it one step further: I'd probably try to get the girl to agree to post up mutual videos of each other. The reason I say "video" is because the Internet is full of fake, photo-shopped, or flatteringly "staged" photos of UNATTRACTIVE women.

And come to think of it, I've never really had but one or two guys MY WHOLE LIFE who knew my tastes well enough for me to trust them to set me up on a blind date. Most other attempts were so off target that I damn near lost friendships over it. Just kiddin', bigsrvelaj.:whistle:

But seriously, STILL try to get some idea of what this woman looks like that you've decided to drive so far to meet. A lot of guys who only have the intention of "hooking up" with a chick wind up in a full blown, lame-assed, long distance relationship.

Proceed with caution.
