"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.

How do you guys respond when a girl asks about specifics on who it was that you hung out with? This girl flaked on me this weekend and apologized the next day. I told her not to sweat it and that things ended up working out, and casually mentioned hanging out with another friend. She brought it up later, as if to try and get me to go into specifics, and I kind of just ignored it and changed the subject, we're not even dating and it doesn't seem like it should be any of her concern. A few days later She measages me and makes small talk, but this time deliberately and bluntly asking me who my friend was and what we did. I know why shes doing this, but theres no Real way to just avoid the question This time.

She's a nice girl, but that's a bit nosey, I don't want to bluntly tell her it isn't her business and have our interactions turn sour. Im not interested in this girl after the flake, but we both have good mutual friends and will Run into each other. At the same time I do secretly get a kick out of leaving her in the dark since she flaked on me to begin with. I'd rather not be overt about it.

I was just going to keep teasing her by withholding who it was, but I didn't expect her to be so forward. How would some of the suave-ier dudes duck the question?

I didn't really feel like this would warrant its own topic, but considering how often the situation arises where the girl gets curious and you want to keep playing into that, I figure it would be interesting to have some good lines.

Cheers
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Sure there is. Ignore it. You're not required to fill out a form detailing your activities in life and if you DO start doing it you'll have to keep doing it.

She's a nice girl, but that's a bit nosey, I don't want to bluntly tell her it isn't her business and have our interactions turn sour.
They're all nosey. It's built in to women and there are good reasons for it.

When I'm asked a nosey question (a "nunya" one), I either just stare like I didn't hear the question, or go over the top in a fun way.

For instance: If a girl flakes on a date and then asks me what I did, I may say "strippers!" and smile at my joke. That's it. If she wants to know details about what I'm doing then she needs to be there instead of flaking.

Once someone starts regularly getting answers to nosey questions it doesn't stop....you'll spend more time explaining what you're doing in life than actually doing it.

This is why it's bad to talk to a girl like a girl. So that you can always say "I was out with my buds" and leave it at that. No explainations necessary, no story, no hot gossip about my night. If she keeps asking it's because she wants to know somehting in particular. So i'll be like "what? what do you want to know?" then i'll go back to the original "I dunno, we were just chilling." and call her weird or something for being so nosey.
