"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'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I would say you can try calling her again, but dont leave a message if you get the machine. The big thing here is to not appear desperate. But at the same time, there is always the possibility she did not get your first message for some reason, which is why you should try calling her again. If she told you to call her, she probably isnt purposely not returning your calls.

Yeah, it'd be different if you told her that you were going to call her. She was the one that told you to call her so I wouldn't worry about it. Just try calling her again and don't leave a message.

I say give it at least a week, I mean, she told you to call when you got back from vacation, and you pretty much did it right away, so that wasn't being much of a challenge. A week should be a good amount of time to have gone by that it kinda seems like both people forgot.

Call her, don't leave a message, she could be on her own vacation or something, it is summer time. I wouldn't worry about it much.

"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.

Don't mention the message. Confirm plans or the date or whatever. Bringing up the message can become awkward for her, maybe she was busy, maybe she was flushing drugs down the toliet, maybe she was ignoring you. Who knows, but that's all in the past it doesn't matter. Look to the future. Make and confirm the date, go on it, have fun. You don't need to blow off the message if she asks, but you don't need to ask her if she got the message, because what would the point of that be?

Hopefully, your message wasn't too drawn out. Maybe something like "Hey, it's AP11, just got back from vacation, call me back" instead of drawn out plans of what you were gonna do. If you need to call her, call her, don't leave another message. You're in a tight spot, there are no rules to the game, so just do what you need to do to get you out there on the date.

She has your number. Next her till she calls you back. She might have had high interest before, but she may have met another guy while you were on vacation and now her and her girlfriends are laughing at you because you keep calling. So quit calling, next, and if she ever calls you back, then alright.

It's just this, it seems that you're calling a cell phone if you keep getting voicemail. You should have her home phone number, because no one can always dodge a home phone call. If her interest is as high as you thought it was, she should be waiting by the phone anxious for your call since you got back from vacation.
