"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's your opinion on this? Was this the right thing to do?

A few weeks ago I asked this girl out on a date. She says maybe, her sister MIGHT be coming over and that she will let me know. I made other plans for that day and called her up the day before and told her we should reschedule for next weekend (friday). She says something along the lines she doesn't plan that far ahead but agrees to it(a week ahead).

Thursday I see her at school we talk and then I asked her if we are still hanging out tomorrow.She says fridays are bad for her because she has work saturday morning, instead she wants us to go saturday night. I call her saturday a few hours before the date and she doesn't pick up and instead sends me a text:
her: I am at school filming a project, i am not sure how long ill be
me: okay, are we still on for tonight?
her: Hopefully if I get out of here soon
me: cool
her: Hey im still here... we might have to reschedule
me: Nah thats okay. See you around

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
