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.
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.
I don't want to be rude, but I would suggest posting something about the contents of a story, instead of just a link. Making an OP with just a link is, I have to say, lazy, and will give the issue far less readers. If it is an issue worthy of discussion, then it is an issue worthy of a few bullet points in the OP. There are too many of these link-and-run threads in forums. Let's make an effort!the_stig said:

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
All I know is, the more I look around, the less I see men treating women the way that we’re raised to. What happened to paying for dinners and drinks? What happened to pulling out chairs and holding doors? What happened to walking on the outside, closest to the street and all that sh*t? Where did we lose the chivalrous touch?

Nonsense.thatfeel said:I say above all be kind and gentle to all those who cross your path. My thoughts on the article are that it was probably a reflection of a deeply rooted insecurity but not necessarily serious the author surrounding decisions he's made and actions he displayed.

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.
You say that because you have been brainwashed by the leftists who run the public schools. And by feminist Hollywood TV shows. Time to wake up and learn some real history.TheODB said:Chivalry is dead is because it is an arbitrary set of social rules that emerged in a time when women were treated like high functioning children.
I think you are going to the extremes there.skinnyguy said:"if you take a girl out and show her you’re more than some douche looking to just get in her pants, odds are, you’re going to get a second date, at least. "
lol.
If you take her out to dinner you'll be seen as a pvssy. And she won't fvck you. If you don't fvck her on the first date, you're done.
