So by accident I met on a meetup event the flatmate of my main plate, a girl with whom my plate became quite good friends. She went to this meetup without knowing I would be there and vice-versa, but we both knew who the other was because my plate had shown pics of us to each other. The event at this bar was fun, and I chatted a bit with this girl throughout the evening. She´s in a relationship now (albeit a bad one) but the weird part came after. She acknowleged who I was, and asked me not to tell my plate that we had met, explaining that my plate wanted to be the one to introduce us to each other. But why would she want to keep this a secret from a good friend?
"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.
Met plate´s friend

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

She told him why - because bestie wants to be the one to introduce them.
I'm assuming that flatmate may be worried that a$$hole boyfriend might find out she was out, and that this is the real motivation for asking him to keep quiet. A$$hole boyfriend will think she was out trying to find someone to monkey branch too.
