"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.

Texas for now
So I met this girl thru my friend(she's his wife's friend) and we hit it off pretty well. We've been talking for about 2 weeks now. We met up the day after we started talking though it was only for a lil while since she was on break at work. Since then we've been talking a lot and just last night we went out on a date. Things went really well she grabbed my hand and cuddled up against me at the movies and we kissed and all that. Shes a virgin which is fine with me since Im looking for more than just sex. Anyways today she texted me a bunch of times though it took me forever to respond since I was busy hanging out with some friends. She texted"Since your not texting me back Im going to tell you this, youre one of the best things that has happened to me lately and Im so thankful for that. You make me happy and I hope one of these days I can be considered your girlfriend. I know I have a past and some of its been hard on me but since you've walked into my life Ive been able to get it figured out, Im strong enough to tell Justin(guy who she had a past relationship with) how I really feel and that I can never be with him and I realize I dont want to be with James either(some guy she was talking to) Last night I told him I went on a date he didnt say anything so this morning I told him how I thought you were a great guy and youre sweet and that Im really starting to like you so thats what I wanted to tell you."
She then asked what I thought of what she just said. Later this evening we were talking and she was saying that Ive got to meet her parents. She was telling me how things will prolly go and that mainly they just want to make sure Im a good guy and am not just trying to use her for a piece of ass or anything like that.
So you guys know this girl calls me everyday as well as texts me through out the day about anything. Shes def got high interest which surprised me since we've been talking everyday since we've met. I think the reason for that is shes glad shes finally found someone who doesnt just want sex and actually cares. ANyways sorry for the long post-can I get some input on everything? Ive gotta admit I am nervous about meeting her parents.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Sounds like the girl is most likely interested in you. The trick is keeping it that way. Glad you found something that you like, but don't take it too seriously just yet. Making a commitment too quickly can sometimes land you out of a relationship, real fast. She wants comfort right now which is fine, but if things are too easy for her, she may and probably will take it for granted. Don't play games, but make sure that you get your share before you even think about committing to this relationship. Not saying you HAVE to have sex with this girl or anything before committing, but most often it's good to have a good time before getting to serious. good luck
