"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 saw this movie tonight, its okay, not so scary but the murderer looks pretty damn scary. If I turned around and saw him standing behind me id probably **** myself on the spot. But I cant wait for The Strangers, omg that movie is gonna be so scary1!!
 

"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.

I love horror as well. One of my favorite genres. I was talking about the Prom night remake.

Oh, Prom Night was whatever, but the suspense was amazing I have to admit, and the foreshadowing music they play gets really creepy at times. But I didnt like the story to it that much.

So it was all the cliches rolled into one? Plus The Strangers does look good. It was supposed to come out earlier this year.

Well,pretty much how you said it. In horror,cliches tend to be there. Some enjoyable,like Friday The 13th,Nightmare On Elm Street series. Sure,they're cliche,but they know they are,and they enjoy it,make it work. On the other hand,stuff like prom night,and a good chunk of the other horror movies that have come out over the years,are too cliche. It's like they try too hard to be cliche. Usually,it all comes down to how the characters are developed and how it's written. And by all cliches rolled into one,I mean,usually the way story pans out,and how the characters are.
