"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.

There's this girl that I'm thinking of asking to prom.. she's kinda the shy type but I'm getting good vibes. Problem is her best friend likes me and isn't exactly shy about it. I've been trying to appear not down with her that way (the friend) for a while and it seems like she's gotten the message (hopefully), but I really want to ask this other girl to the dance.

Should I move on or try it?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Well since she's not your friend, you can do it. BUT, you have to keep in mind that there will likely be a fallout b/w the two friends if the girl you like says yes. This is a hard one. Have you considered talking to the friend and telling her you think her friend is cute?

Scenarios like this are hard to deal with. On one hand you want to ask this girl out, on the other, you have to deal with the best friend who likes you...

But if you really like this girl, I say, go for it. Life's too short to be wasting your time. Just be ready for a no.

Thing is, a lot of girls will say no if their best friend likes you a lot.
