"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.

A recurrent theme in my recent love life (or lack thereof!) is:

Me around girl I am interested: acting mysterious, aloof but friendly, a challenge but occasionally giving mixed signals.

Girl starts giving me interest signals
I keep doing the above.
Girl gives me even more interest signals

I decide she's well into me, go for her, the mystery and challenge is gone (since now she knows i'm interested) and her IL drops.

So give me some tips on how to go for a girl I'm interested in and who has fallen for my mystery-challenge persona, without losing her IL...

I think an important thing is next time, remember to keep my mouth shut!

What about me being flirty and kinoing, but at same time tell her she's a great friend and we should be best buds etc? Would that work?

Awaiting for suggestions

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Define "go for her." Did you just "sell out" and start calling her, sending her flowers, worshipping her, etc?

Or did you just ask for the digits/try to set a date and she flaked?

The mystery/chalenge 'tactic' only goes so far, some girls would see this as disinterest or 'game-playing' on your part.

The friend or 'buddy' business - why you young kids acr like you want to be 'friends' with a girl just doesn't add up, unless of course, you are not confident enough to pursue her as a man would. Only pursue women romantically, and for no other reason!

The best tip for 'keepinhg' her is not to act so scared that you are going to lose her!!! Confidence my man, confidence! If she goes, then bid her farewell, with a smile!!

Well, what happened the most recent time, I talk about in my post "Field Report - Date Blunder?"

Basically she flaked when I called her to set up a second date, and was wondering how the fxxx her IL dropped so much.

And on the "buddy" thing, I read it on "double your dating".

Basically you are going for the girl romantically, and your non-verbal signals are of sexual interest, but verbally you joke around with her that "we should be friends" and that is supposed to work. Haven't tried it tho

Only she knows the true reason why her interest level dropped!!
On the 'buddy' thing, don't listen to that crap! That 'buddy' stuff only works on the mentality of children, and not women. Why would you approach a women in the context of being a friend when they already know why you are in their presence. This is a cowardly approach. If she didn't have a vagina would you be there? No!
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I think telling a girl she's a good friend or whatever could work to raise her interest level by making you more of a challenge, but I agree with PR, in that, it's pretty laim. There are much better ways to be a challenge without trying to use tricks like that. Stick to the basics, and work on your self control.
