should I say Happy Ny?
"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.
Went NC and she's said Merry Xmas

I agree, ignore it. She is probably wondering what you are up to but doesn't want to flat out ask you that. Whenever people I like send me "Merry Xmas" I reply "Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too".. When people I don't care about send it, I ignore 100%.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm assuming she sent the merry xmas text 8 days ago on christmas?
And you're wondering if you should send a "happy new year" text a day after new years? Seriously...
You need to get out and meet other women; or get a hobby more occupying than women. Continue to ignore her and move on with your life.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Ignore. It's no longer your business to care about what kind of year she has.

But isn't rude of me not to wish her happy new year because she wished me merry Xmas?
I did wish her merry Xmas back and we small talked for a while then she went silent.

No, you move on for your sake, not for hers. You don't care what she might perceive as "rude," you're moving on for you.jackreacher20155 said:
