"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.

Ok long story short im going to see this girl tomorrow. We have somewhat of a pass nothing too serious. But we stopped talking the last time was about 2 months ago. Some stupid sh!t happened so i guess we both said fvck it. She contacted me yesterday for the first time in 2 months to invite me to her party. I said i dont know if i can go well see.


Ill probably go though. The thing that is weird to me is on 3 seperate occasions i have stopped calling her after she flaked then maybe her friends will see me out or her sister/brother a couple weeks later and then she will call after that day in which i was seen. When and if i see her tomorrow is it alright to say geez do you always call people out of the blue like that? or so what made you invite me over? something along those lines. One other thing, should i bring just 1 friend with me or 3? Most likely her parents are going to be there and maybe some other adults cause it is for her college graduation. I dont want to look like a punk if i bring like 4 people with me.
 

"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.

Don't bring it up the phone call,I wouldn't. Just go on your own,meet some new people,you will have fun. Who knows,you may just relax or you could meet your future wife. Just keep an open mind and you will be fine.

I wouldn't go on my own. I'd take a plutonic chick friend along, and not mention anything about her being a flake. Pretend you've got other **** on, and don't stay hanging around for too long. Most likely if it's her party she won't be spending that much time with you anyway... you don't want to be standing around bored like a loser.

You know you could show up for a minute or two and do the job and get out,I bet you have some chores to attend to.;) Just go in,let her know your there,talk to her for a minute(keep it short) then says something along the lilnes of "Hey Iv got to go,I'm going to hang out with my girlfriend,it was nice to see you,Bye" and leave. By saying "I'm going to hang out with my girlfriend" she will automatically be thinking,"Wow this happened and I have no clue" whether she was interested in your before or not.

Classic! To be honest I wouldn't say anything to her. You sound like the notorious "Back up" if you ask me. If you're gonna go, go with another woman. If you don't get with the "flakey" chick then well it's not all bad, you could try the chick you go with.
 

"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.

Well she is flakey so not sure your point of worrying about it. Don't bring up any sort of conversation at the party that involves mental thought. Just have fun.

I'd definitely bring a buddy to come along and see if there any other females you can ask out at the party.

She probably just invited everyone she knows and you happen to be the flavour of the day but definitely not a favourite food. :)
