"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.

This girl is really confusing me. At times it seems like she's interested, and at others it seems like she's not.

For example:

Signs of disinterest:
- Told me she'd go to Junior Prom with me, then turned me down for someone else (says she has no feelings for him and said she hopes I wasn't hurt) <---- this one's pretty big
- Never texts me first
- Sometimes ignores my texts

Signs of interest:
- Sometimes hits me up randomly whenever I don't hit her up for a while, but never over the phone (only over Facebook)
- When she does respond to my texts, she responds with much more than I wrote (I'm talking a paragraph)
- Laughs at my jokes and smiles when she talks to me
- Told me she'd miss me

You guys always say "assume attraction", but it's pretty hard in this case with such a confusing girl.
 

"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.

A girl shows enough of her cards, but never all of it, to show YOU that SHE might be interested or is really interested, and they hope that by doing this, YOU will take the lead and get the balls to escalate and advance the relationship. All of this guessing game crap is BS. I'm not saying it's true, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter because it's all dependent on you.

The fastest and most direct way to figure this out is to make a move. You didnt provide a lot of info, but it sounds like you havent done anything with her yet. Make a move and you will have your answer.

Otherwise, you could always try no contact.

Seems like she just wants the attention from you. Shes prolly an attention wh*re, but regardless you should still arrange a day to hangout to see where things go.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
