Doesn't matter much at the moment since I am not single, but a recurring problem since back then I am not sure how to handle: at businesses were you are a regular, like coffee shops, a cute or sometimes hot hired gun will give me IOIs (flirt, ask questions, be giggly and silly) and I keep the banter flirtatious, ALMOST ALWAYS there is one or two other female coworkers of the woman who will vie for attention, get bitter, and ****block the cute girl. It's more of a curiosity to know how to deal with this since you can't be too obvious when they are working, but I have noticed it at different places...
"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.
