"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 was doing pretty good on plentyoffish when they still had that. It allowed me to use game to stand out from the crowd. I've had some success with it since they did away with it but it's much harder without that subject line now. All the messages just have the same subject line so you don't stand out unless you're Brad Pitt.

I just tried OKCupid and they seem to be the same, except they have the whole Tinder like/pass thing going on. I'm pretty sure the messages there also have no subject line.
 

"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.

OKCupid is total balls now, because they've changed it so you can only message a woman if she's already "liked" you. Since 10% of women even use the Like function, and they only use it for the top 0.01% of men, that pretty much means you can't even message people anymore full stop.

I've had maybe two "Likes" since they did this 2 months ago, and neither chick even bothered responding anyway.

PoF is by far the best free site in my experience, just keep your message short and stick the cool bit in the first line, usually does the job. You'll probs get a profile view and then they won't bother replying though >_>
