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 replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
GREAT MAP to have!wayword said:According to this map, there's a huge surplus of women in the NE.
So, there's at least quantity...although I don't know about quality?![]()
I hate to generalize, but the fact that she was a former stripper makes her behavior all too familiar. I am just not convinced you ever had a chance. Face it, if she really wanted a piece of you, she could easily call you and arrange a time and place, but that hasn't happened has it? Wanna know why? She isn't interested, but she is interested in making you want her, which she has obviously been successful in doing. By your own words "I was never really attracted to this girl"... sad to think you can be so easily manipulated, but perhaps you'll know better next time. Thanks for the amusing story.STR8UP said:Yea, it really happened....
...I have to tell ya, I was never really that attracted to this girl, but the whole situation had me revved up and ready to go. I haven't been that turned on in a LOOOONG time!
...Turns out this chick is actually an ex stripper, which might explain a few things...
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.

I don't know what you are talking about. That was never what this post was about.thickandcreamy said:You posted on this topic a month ago. After 2,500 posts, have you figured out how to lay this girl? Enough of the blah blah blah already.
Honestly, I think this has a huge influence on dating. Because from random people I've met on the net, single guys mostly do tend to be from WC or SW and single women from EC or Midwest.Latinoman said:GREAT MAP to have!
UlrickFor all you guys that want to get married and live happily everafter, I have some very bad news for 'ya. Your lovely wife will slowly transform into...ARE YOU READY?...BRACE YOURSELF... THIS!!!
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.
Orlando, why?DoubleA said:STR8UP,
What city do you live in?
Interesting post but I think it's run it's course.squirrels said:Why does this thread have 6 pages of replies??!
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
