"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.

Hint? Or no hint? That is the question

I was talking to this girl lastnight, we're pretty good friends. Somehow we got on the conversation of ex's and we were joking around then she got serious and said "[you] will make a fine boyfriend or husband one day. Any woman will be lucky to have you."

I tried dating her once but got rejected. As a matter of face, it was 2 weeks ago I got rejected. Should I take that as a hint or what?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She is trying to reel you back into pursuing her just so she can feed her ego. She wants to feel "wanted" and "desired" and the easiest thing for her to feel that way is by making it look like she is giving you a hint.

Don't feed her ego!

You should have said, "Well then I guess you aren't going to be that lucky woman. Too bad since I always thought you deserved the best."

I don't know how burned you are from the rejection but if you are severely burned then don't say that. You may just make it sound very angry.

Now that I think about it, you could also say, "So do you know any women who are feeling lucky?" ;)

Yeah say that next time.
