it wasn't really like that. it was more like i wanted to go eat, but not alone. so i'd call all my friends and they couldn't go for one reason or another, and so i'd have to go by myself. trust me, i know i was overacting, but it's not a very good feeling to be out of your comfort zone, with no one to hang out with to make you feel better. like i said, my earlier posts were all just me being overreactive. i'm ready to deal with the situation, and i feel i am by expanding my social network while maintaining a solid core group of friends.
"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.
