"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 cannot sleep unless my stomach is completely full. Eating a meal before bed will make me fat. How can I sleep without food or what foods could I eat that will just take up space, but not make me fat? I was thinking of making some sort of stew with lean chicken, celery, barly, and other such things to eat before bed.

Knowing this will help me get a 6 pack.

Thanks.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

That's a porkie pie (lie).

Just don't eat carbs unless you've worked out in the afternoon.

Right now its probably mental. You're in the habit of eating before you go to bed, so your body tells itself that you can't go to bed without eating. So try slowly eating less before bed until you can go to bed with a quick snack instead of a full meal.
Or, like Mr. S said, just cut the carbs out of your bedtime snack. You could also try an appetite suppressant about an hour or so before you go to bed, that way when you do eat before bed, you don't eat as much.

I've heard fruit is an appetite supressant. Is that true?

Alcohol always helped me. but really, you shouldn't eat anything 2 hours before sleeping - drink warm milk?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Most fruits have natural sugar in them, which tends to be high on the GI index, which means it spikes your blood-sugar level. Thus, fruit does not suppress your diet. The only support for such a claim is that fruit has a little bit of fiber, which could help produce the feeling of satiety.

Most people confuse hunger for thirst, especially before bed. Make sure you are drinking enough water.

Also, eating before bed will not absolutely turn to fat since it depends on your activity level and your intake over the preceding days. But since it is safe to assume that most do not watch their intake and are not very active, it is a general assumption that eating before bed will make you fat.

If I were you I would get the biggest cup in your cabinet, fill it up with water, and drink a cup per hour before bed.

That is a myth. It doesn't matter what time you eat. Calories are calories. What will make you fat is eating more of them (at any time) than you burn each day.
