"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 would like to thank a girl who helped me, how?

Well this girl have been very nice to me and helped me solve a big problem while asking nothing in return.

She is a friend although I often kiss her lips and we touch each other, I wonder what could I do to show real appreciation for what she did.

Buying flowers looks lame and buying choccolate would make her happy but would make her feel like crap after eating it (shes skinny anyway).

Any idea or suggestion?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Are you trying to hook up with this girl? Or you seriously just want to thank her? Take her to dinner... then back to your place.

You didn't get any responses because it's a weird question.

If it's just a friend, then treat her to a drink or a night of bowling or whatever.

And if it's someone you're trying to date, then make a move and stop thinking that you can buy your way into her pants.

No no I have no romantic or sexual intention toward her, just show some appreciation.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I would just take her to dinner, to a movie... whatever really. But I would suggest going somewhere over buying her flowers or chocolate. Those make it look like you are trying to "buy" her. Some thing if the dinner is too nice. Keep it casual.
