"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.

there is this girl that i really like that i just started to talk to. I knew her since middle school but didnt talk to her. Now i got her screen name and started to talk to her on the internet and on the bus home from high school. If i were to walk by her she would say hi and smile at me. i can make her laugh and she knows im a good person and is going places. Lately she has been in a weird mood and im not sure why what do i do to keep this friendship going and develop it into something deeper. Should i ask about her personal life or is it to early and she will think im intruding or wierd. she hangs out with popular people who i dont really talk to because they have no personality but tthis girl does. what should i do?

thanks

srry for sucky type
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ask her for a number/date before its too late. I've been in that situation before and trust me your better off going with the do or die approach now instead of slowly developing onitis while the relationship dies. Give it a throw of the dice, and if you fail next her. If your afraid of losing her than you have to decide between a friend or a date. Once you do that the choice should be pretty clear what you have to do.
