"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.

Is this funny?

I was hanging out with some friends the morning after we went partying, we were just shooting the sh!t and feeding our friend's dog, when one of the girls put a dogbone halfway in her mouth and had the dog come and get it from her. It was kind of cute. The other girl (who I have known for a long time but we're not toooo close) said, "Eww, that's gross!" and I replied, "Oh come on, it's not like you haven't put worse things in your mouth before."

I thought it was funny, but it was like dead silence. I'm guessing she was at least slightly offended...did that cross the line? The audience was 2 girls and one guy (who is a major AFC).
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

if the girl is immature enough to put a dogbone in her mouth then that joke shouldnt be offensive to them

it could be funny, but it's how you say things not what you say. Your question is very situational

Funny to me cause you made a bit of a fool of yourself. But stop worrying if you crossed the line. DJ's don't worry. Have you read the DJ bible good sir?
 

"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.
