"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 went out with a girl who had just broken up with her boyfriend (while she was with him i had sex with her). Well she had this trip planned with him and his family before they broke up. So the trip was comming up and she decided to get back with him. i still want to pursue her for a summer hookup at least. how do i handle this. Should i txt her with something like when you get back gimme a call we'll do something, or how should i handle this?
 

"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.

Why do you want to get with someone that seemed to have left the boyfriend for you, then went back to him?

You can do better.

true, i was just seeing it as a hookup perspective, since its quite possible that she only got back with him for the trip
