"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.

who knows
alright, i met a girl 2 months ago. we dated for a week, but we broke up after a brief fight. she had to go away for the summer. i called her only twice during the summer, just to keep in touch.

so i figured that shes prolly back by now. so i sent her a text message today saying, "hi! hope everythings good with you and that youve had a good summer. are you in town? would be to fun to meet you... like saturday or friday? what do you reckon?"...

i got a message back saying "hi! thanx my summer has been good. im busy this weekend, however. im going sailing off the coast"



so what do you reckon? is she still interested. the fact that she answered my message is a good thing. but she didnt suggest another day to meet up.

should i call her later during the week or what?

You expect the secrets of the universe to be revealed to you through a text message?

Unlikely. You have to be a skilled writer to create the same kinds of emotions and feelings that voice tone and body language produce, with words on paper or screen.

I wouldn't worry about the sms too much. Just call her, chat a little, and find out what you can there. *sighs* If I had a cent for everytime I saw a guy seeking interpretation of a text message

It's not astrology... and she's prolly just going to the coast, and she had a good summer. :)

She's definately not interested, but if you wanna play baseball and go for strike 3 then you can ask her out again if you'd like.

Pftttttttt DID SHE EVER CALL YOU?

If she didn’t she’s a lost cause. If a woman’s interested she will call she will even call to much.

Are you one of the dudes that still txt msgs my gf's cell phone after having not talked to her for 6 months with "i'm back in town. how you doin? wanna get 2gether?"

And then repeatedly txt msgs her even after she rarely responds and when she does is progressively meaner because the guy won't get the point even after it being blatantly obvious she has no interest whatsoever especially with the mention of her boyfriend during your brief, awkward conversations?

She has a word for those guys.

"Douche."


.. heh there's another guy who will call her from a different phone just so she'll actually answer the call. :rolleyes:
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
