"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.

Hello again,
I thought it would be wise to get advice before I screw stuff up. So herrrrrre weeee go.

So there is a girl I have seen on and off for about a year at the supermarket checkout line. I am not sure how to figure out if she is fake nice or nice. I have stared and smiled at her while I we are talking and she seems kewl with it. When I say bye to her she usually gives me akward goodbyes. She is a pretty bubbly person so I am not sure what kind of test I need to throw out to see what her interest level is.
We have only talked about her schooling and blah blah. I try to make some jokes but most of the time my mind goes blank--still and idiot under fire.

Thanks for any advice before I screw this one up.
 

"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.

I replied to your other post...related looks like.

First, screw what up? I would say, avoid thinking like that, because all that does is put unnecessary pressure on yourself. And you can help avoid this by keeping from asking her questions that hint at you wanting her but rather asking her questions that get her hinting at you being a challenge and the prize.

Lot's of guys take rejection bad because they set themselves up to take it personally.

This is the "mature Man" forum. How old are you?

A year? You already screwed up if you waited a year.

Guys, if you meet a girl and you don't get SERIOUS interest RIGHT AWAY (i.e., a compliment, a touch, serious eye contact, a date, a kiss), move on. When you look at a woman you are experiencing her reaction to you. If it's not what you want, change the woman or change yourself.
 

"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.

Fact is she already said no and 'inappropriate' to you. A skilled DJ can use that to his advantage. I do, however, feel you are chasing your tail here TB. Don't run in circles to chase what doesn't have a reason to catch.

That is to say, you have fancied this girl, because for a year you have been thinking about HOW to GET her and the chase has you hooked...usually we want this the other way around with girls ;)
