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.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hold up. First and foremost.MaddXMan said:She texted me over the weekend - "I miss your kiss, the way you would look at me."
I said shouldn't you go out on your other dates before making your decision?
Her: perhaps.
YOU called and asked her on a date???????MaddXMan said:Yesterday I called her and asked if she wanted to meet for a drink today after work. She said sure.
Today she emails and says I can meet you but have an afterwork meeting until 7.
I said that does not work for me. Another time, then.
Another poster had it right. She will leave you alone when you stop responding to her. Maybe you can start by not asking her out on dates when she has already discarded your intimacy for other dates???MaddXMan said:Her: ok, I understand.
She's playing hot/cold. I've decided I'm not going to be confused by her. I know the sting I feel is only the sting of rejection and not due to the fact I have lost something that can't be replaced or anything deep like that.
I hope she just leaves me alone now.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

A sh!t test if I ever heard one.
Bail brother. Put her out with the trash first thing in the morning.
Good luck.
