"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.

just got a phone call from my Ex's best friend...

Her and my ex are out of town about 40 mins away - got a room for the night and called me because they want me to go there and party with them.

My ex came on the phone and wants me there - told me that I'd be missing out and that it'll be worth my while.

Now - this is tempting. Not to go for anything else just to show up party with them and have a look at me attitude.

You never know what will happen.

Now I had free tickets to a concert that I was going to take a date to. She's a Air stewardess for South West - and is currently in Alberqerque - so will not bve able to make it.

If I don't go - to see these girls I've nothing else to do.

Now - I'm not sure if it would be wise for me to go - I'm at 50 - 50 could take it or leave it... but the thought Of them callinbg me wanting me to go - then showing up and just being cool and not interested in my ex really appeals to me.
 

"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.

Your EX is an EX for a reason. You can never be friends with your EX's, anyone who says different is a step away from getting oneitis.

Do not go to your EX.

Hmmm. The episode of Fresh Prince where there Will is lured to the cabin by the women and then stung up over a huge boiling pot flashes to mind :( .

I wouldn't go. Plus you're crawling back to your EX.
