"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.
almost 29, am I getting too old to pick up girls 18-22?

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I am 55 my wife is 40, but looks much, much younger (that is her in my profile pic). I have a couple of very young orbiters. I don't have sex with them, but I could and if my wife steps out of line (which she nearly just did) they would become plates. They just would never work out.
Keep in mind, they will age. I don't think an exclusive monogamous relationship with and 18 year old would work. Most 18 year olds are too immature for a relationship. That does not mean you cannot keep them in your rotation. If an 18 year old stuck around somehow for a few years she would get older (duh) so it is possible.
I had a 21 year old when I was 36.

Nah, not looking for an LTR yet. More of casual dating/sex.

It was much easier to do it in my 30s than it was in my 20s. Being confident, positive, social and having a sense of humour go a long way. Work on those parts of your personality and you'll see the women gravitate towards you.

Explain your notion of casual dating, please? Even if you want an LTR you are going to do a lot of dating and nexting.
My program has an LTR as the goal, but in the meantime you are managing a 3 woman rotation. You have a Tuesday night gal, a Thursday night gal, and a Saturday night gal.
For the first 8 weeks you do not promise exclusivity with them, in fact most relationships end by the 8 week mark.
When I was running my rotations I would have sex about 3 times with each gal, meaning I had sex nearly 10 times a week. Is that set up anything like casual dating?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
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.

I would rather be a hot 35 yrs old man than an average 25yrs old one if my desire was to pick up cute 22 yrs old girls.
Problem for me is, I was fat and ugly when younger, and now in my late 20's I decided to take up fitness/weight lifting, and now look the best I ever have.
So because of that, I never had much interactions with girls 18-22 when I was that age, so now at 28 almost 29 I feel awkward approaching girls that young, since I never did it when younger.
I know a guy who's 46 married to a 26 year old...don't know if she has daddy issues, but maybe she does. That's the biggest age gap relationship I know of though.
I want to date different girls, maybe even a few at the same time. I missed out on that in my early 20's due to my horrible appearance (fat, bad acne, glasses, etc), and now want to make up for that in my late 20's now that I look somewhat decent.
There is a certain age in a young woman's life where she opens her mind to the possibility of older men. Before that moment happens it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, or what you do, you are just not on her radar at all. You may as well be invisible. All that matters is in her mind you are too old for her.
This concept reminds me of a high school mindset. Remember when you were in high school and someone just one grade higher than you seemed SO much older. That mindset persists for a few years for some people even after high school. There is no magic age. It just happens.
However once that magic moment happens you would be very surprised at how much older of men a young woman will open herself up to. Last summer I had a young woman profess her love for me and she is 20 years younger.
I see this happen every single year as many of the same young people return to my workplace year after year and basically use the job to put them through college and university. There is a large group of 20 somethings and many attractive young women. It is very obvious when that switch has been flipped and she is suddenly available to older men.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.
interesting information. What age would that generally be? or does it vary?
ok, thanks.

"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.
