"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.

I know the rule of thumb around here is that the girls pay most of the time, does that count with dinner also? Or do you guys usually split the bill? Cuz a friend of mine got me thinking. I said they girl usually pays, the he said I wear the pants, I pay. The we were talking about if she instincts on paying then you pay or even more in..? Whats everyone's thought on that?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

If you ask a girl to dinner then I'd say you should pay for it since it was your idea and indeed you 'wear the pants' as it were.

I took my gf to dinner a few weeks ago and paid it. Normally id say just split the bill if uve been seeing her for a while (as i have been) but in my scenario, it was my idea plus she was low on money anyway so i thought... why not!

But yeah, pay if its ur idea and ur near the start of the relationship, otherwise, split the bill!
