"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.

Hey guys, I'm new here so bear with me if this has been covered elsewhere. This problem is probably really common for guys in college.

I sit across from this chick in class and one day we locked eyes for about 10 seconds. Every class since then we make consistent eye contact, roll eyes, all that ****t. So I've been sitting across from her, and i didn't want to look shady and just sit next to her - today I decided to approach her after class (missed a few opportunities previously).

I asked her name, then if she wanted to get coffee. She had coffee in her hand (ugh). But we chatted for a bit while walking, it had some awkward moments, then I asked her number. She smiled and gave it to me, but i'm not sure if she has much of an IL, though at this point I'm ballsy and I'm gonna run with it anyway. My read is that she's a really smart and good girl w/o much experience. Fine with me.

Here's the rub. We have class on Thursday. Today was Tuesday and I have her number. I'm anticipating some weirdness in class on Thursday... any ideas on my next move? I can't call her before Thursday
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

EDIT: You got it today, nvm.. I would just wait to see her again.

Make sure you sit next to her.
