"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 have not been to this forum in a very long time. Just need a perspective about a current situation. I was talking to this one girl roughly 6 years ago and then went separate ways (college etc..). and never talked again. I just ran in to her and talked briefly. Ironically, she became best friends with my buddy's current girlfriend. She is now single and so am I. Should I try again with her?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

usually couple months kind of allows you to start fresh with the same girl you messed up on a long time ago. Usually its because of the period of no contact whatsoever. As for me 2 years ago I (AFC back then)messed up with a girl..couple months later i didn't see her...then once a year went by she started to become really interested

well yea....6 years is a pretty long time...so its a go :)
