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.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
New link since YouTube pulled the original. Make note of the part about discussing politics, it'll explain why political discussions are not allowed in this forum.Francisco d'Anconia said:
Stupid people: what would we laugh at without them?Bible_Belt said:Kimberly A. Baker, 22, of Warrensburg, N.Y., went
to court to ask the judge to order the father of her 2-year-old
daughter to help support the girl. She identified the father as a 16-
year-old boy she knows. The judge did some quick math: Baker was 19
when she was impregnated by the 13-year-old, and Baker was arrested on charges of second-degree rape of a minor. She faces up to 7 years in prison.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I love how he says "sloowly...slooowly". :crackup:Francisco d'Anconia said:I think we need a bit more levity around here. Did you guys know that The Count from Sesame Street was a master PUA? Yeah, really! He even made a video expounding about his greatness, check it out.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
