"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.

Hey guys,

I RSVPed to a wedding with a +1 back when I was with my ex. The girl I was planning on taking now can't go. The wedding is this Saturday, and I'll feel like a complete a$$hole if they pay for a guest that I don't bring.

I really don't have many platonic female friends, and I don't want to bring a plate to this wedding because my parents and nearly my entire company will be there (president of my company's son is the groom).

Anyone have any decent ideas on finding a random girl (in person and/or online) to take? Tips? Am I completely crazy for even considering that? Obviously a wedding is quite different than asking a random girl to get a drink.

I almost feel crazy even asking this. But my time is running out. Appreciate any help.
 

"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.

Seriously? Nothing? Not even a post telling me I'm an idiot for thinking this?

Tell them what happened so they might be able to invite someone else in her place

you're willing to bring a total stranger but not a plate? I'm sure even if you bring a friend everyone would think she's a date, might as well bring a plate...one which would fit in well in the said event
 

"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.

I actually would rather bring a stranger than deal with a plate thinking it's more than it is, and then needing to end it because she wants to be exclusive. Plus the one plate I even considered wouldn't be able to go.

I may ask this girl that works at my gym, I'm just hoping it doesn't get all awkward if she says no, since I see her 5 times a week.
