"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 finally "asked" this girl out, or whatever you would call this:

"Hey, (anonymous), what are you doing this weekend?"
*Smiles* "I don't know, why?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to do something this weekend."
"Yeah, sure."
"Okay."
*Friend calls her*
"We'll talk about it more tomorrow."
"Okay," I say. "See ya."

...Now what? Do I bring it up tomorrow at school? I'm done with one step, and now I've got a totally different problem
:( but at least I finally asked her :D
 

"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.

***UPDATE***
She obviously didn't take it as a date; she didn't even ask about the weekend. I must've sounded like "just hanging out".

I am SO mad at myself about this. What do I do now? Should I bring it up? Reclarify? I have no idea.

This is how the conversation should have gone...

"Hey, (anonymous), what are you doing this weekend?"

Biker's way: "Do you have anything exciting planned this weekend?"

*Smiles* "I don't know, why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to do something this weekend."

Biker's way: "you do now. Give me your number so I can get directions to your house"


Get what I'm saying? You have to be a little bit more exciting then 'i was wondering....'. Argh, nothing will turn a girl off quicker then that.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

haha nice 1 biker but thats a bit to much, first line i like, second line, could end up sounding bad.

Keep the "you do now" bit, but say "because your going out with me this weekend" rather then so i can get directions to your house.

EDIT: 1 problem is, if you ask her is she doing anytihng exciting its quite probable she will just tell you her plans meaning your second line will not fit in, so how could you recover that? say she says i might go out with a freind or somthing, i mean you cant tell her thats not exciting because you would be dissing her.
