"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.

So I'm sitting in Cicis pizza by myself at about 10 pm eating dinner and this girl walks up to my table...

HER "Hey, I'm Angela"
ME, looking up from my pizza "Hey, I'm Caleb"
HER "I've already been stood up once tonight and want to be able to tell my friends I met a guy" (or something like that, don't remember word for work, I just took it as a lame pickup line.
ME "O, ok, uh have a seat", pointing towards the chair opposite me, she sits down. I continue to eat pizza.
HER "So, do you go to college name that we were about 1/2 mi from?.
ME "Yeah, I'm a junior. Are you a student there too?"
HER "No, I'm actually a sophmore in highschool"
ME "O, ok, yeah I actually started pretty early when I was 16, blah, blah... so where are you from / what are are you doing in town?"
HER "I was going to see movie name.
ME "O how was that?"
HER "blah, blah, chick flick, so what were u doing in town?
ME "O I just got off work, I work at college name " (I was kinda dressed up)
HER "well, I guess, uh, I'll see you later maybe?" as she stands up"
She was only a 6.5, but I figured what the heck, an easy number so I say "Hey, why don't I get your number".
HER "O, uh, no, I don't think so, I mean you're probably a lot older than I am"
ME "no, I'm 17"
HER "uh, ok not today"
and then she walks back to her table to finish her dinner with her friends (females).

As I walk out she says "by".

This was the first time I have ever been approached by a girl, but what happened? I mean I was exspecting her to ask for my number!
 

"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.

Dude their is NO C+F in their what so ever! I know it was kind of sudden but that C+F is so emblemented in my brain that I would of instantly busted on her lame pick-up line. And then accused her of trying to staulk me.

Don't sweat it, she sounds like a b***h anyways.

PEACE

tbh, when girls approach you, it's the easiest pull (or at least chance to be suave about it) that you can get. you just play on the whole idea of them trying to pick you up.

but this one doesn't really mean anything cuz she wiz just usin you; probably no chance of a number close in the first place.

in clubs, i get approached quite a bit and get my women that way. i always feel like less of a man doing this though, because it is the man's job/ duty to approach.

Don't worry Skinnydart. I doubt this girl had a legitimate interest in you, she was just trying to show off to her friends and be an attension wh0re because she was bored.

Consider yourself lucky that this chick did not continue to play games with you by giving you her number.

it doesnt really appear that she was interested in you, according to the convo that occured. It appears she may have been telling the truth in her second line. She probably looked around for guy that's alone to just stir a short convo with is all. I mean mix together the convo with her body language and you'll find the answer.

It appears this is something girls often do on occasion when they need someone to talk to.
 

“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 think she had to have been atleast somewhat attracted for her to come up to you. If you were some ugly fatass do you think she would've done that? Maybe you came off as boring or bland. Maybe you had pizza stuck in your teeth:p

you did the best you could , what do you need to have a phd to approach a 16 year old? if she was serious enough she would have giving you her number this chick has issues if she didnt want to give her number(attenshion ***** and her friends where even near by, what did you expect from a 16 yeR OLD, thats why i only go for older chicks with some sense. you did the best you could everyone isnt always in the mood for that c+f bullsh*t ..**** her. ...geez should talking to girls be like reading a fighter plane manual.

Interesting. What I'd do in that situation is this. When she would say that thing about being stood up and being able to tell her friends that she managed to pick up a guy, I'd inquire why she thought I wouldn't reject her either. Then I'd listen to her response just for laughs and then I'd tell her something along the line of "Get lost!". That introduction of hers tells just so much about her and her intentions, and besides, there's nothing quite as sweet as breaking the already fragile ego of an attention whöre.
Only if her reply to my question was really intriguing and interesting would I have given her a second thought.

she does not have to be intrested because liek DJ damage saude, shes showing off to her freinds, if it was just her no freinds with her then you wolud be right but as she had freinds it could be the case (does not have to be) and there is a good chance that she was just doing it like as a dare or showing off ot her freinds.

as for what RedKnight04 said, about the C&F, well maybe you just bored her, she felt attracted to you but lost intrest because of what you did during her aproch.

Theres one more obvious possibility know one has mentioned yet, a test, thats right she said no to see if you will ask again, i mean the fact she says bye to you at the end it may be the case that she wnated you to aks her again for her number.

I still say "Get lost!" is the way to go. If not for anything else then for personal satisfaction.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

shes showing off to her freinds
How would walking up to a guy and saying "hi, where you from, ok by" be showing off, I mean if I did the same thing with a girl, trying to show off, I wouldn't have anything to show off with unless I came back with a phone number and/or a date.

When she said she had "already been stood up", does that mean she had a date wtih a guy that night and he never showed, or she had already tried to approach a guy and got rejected?

Yeah, I definatelly think she was just showing off in front of her friends. Maybe they just dared her to come up to a random guy and get him interested. I like Panda's way of dealing with the situation.

For me, it would end there.

Nothing happened. Her friends and her had some kinda game they were playing and you were the pawn. No big deal.

She prolly had a bet with her girls that she could go over and talk to you or about meeting someone.

Since she got stood up I will bet she also needed to prove something and wanted to tease a man to make sure she felt attractive also.

You gave in by asking for her number. That is all she needed to feel good about herself again.

But look at it this way. You did a nice thing and gave her some mental koodoo's when she was feeling down,.


No big deal.
