"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.

Things are going fine for me, this was more of a hypothetical question.

say one is in a relationship (LTR and LDR) that is going amazingly. If ones g/f were to say perhaps they should not talk every night (they usually talk like 1/2 hour on average, and it doesnt get boring), and she doesnt want as much contact, is that bad?

Like, if she said lets only talk every other day, would that mean her IL has dropped and everything is coming to an end?

Cause on one hand it could mean she's feeling trapped and wants out, but on the other hand it might not be a big deal. I personally think it would be signalling the end, but what do y'all think about that?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

They shouldn't be talking 1/2 an hour on the first place (if its on the phone).Imagine being the girl and knowing that every night this guy will call you etc for "chat",girls "chat" everyday with other girls.
