"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.
What DVDs do you own?

"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.

Send me a PM, I've got Das Boot coming in a few days from Netflix... it was at #60 something in my queue but it's now at #9. I've got the 8 at a time program right now...
Now, since copying movies is illegal, I can't claim to own any movies. Theoretically, however, I have a bunch - so many that I've got to get over to Wal-Mart soon and buy another DVD case. Perhaps one of those ones that holds 250 at a time. It's hard keeping them in alphabetical order though... in theory. All I can say it's a good thing that Circuit City has DVD's at $7.99 for 25. One bad thing about it all (in theory) is that most DVD burners aren't prepared to handle massive use. Mine could have to be brought back and exchanged about every other month due to it giving up the ghost and starting to make the movies (that I don't copy) skip around and freeze.
Wait, I figured out a way to get them up here:
