"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.

Oh and Dons one more thing. I wasn't seriously expecting her to invite me for a sleep over. I was merely attempting to flirt. I felt if she had a god sense of humor she would have said something like " It's ok I'm there with you in spirit..." Which would show (1) she has a sense of humor (2) She might be open to the idea in the future. Since she responded the way she did I get the feeling she doesn't want anything deep with us. The only reason I'd go to the game is cos I said I'd be there cos I don't care for appeasing her in hopes that she will come around. Although this what one friend had suggested.
YES YOU HAVE BLOWN IT. next.
 

"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.

Being 27 has nill top do with it dude... You were flailing about and did not act smooth enough at all.. your game was not on point this time but you can learn from this...

ALWAYS HAVE A GOAL FOR EVERY TIME YOU INTERACT WITH HER!!!!! Never just chat an shoot the breeze you are too busy for that!

NEVER CARE ABOUT HER STRANGE FEMALE WAYS!!! You cant fix change or understand them

ALWAYS KISS CLOSE OF FIRST DATE!!! if you dont its all uphill..

GO LEARN ALL COMMON AMERICAN SLANG SAYINGS!!! Your response to "be there or be square" was very square...LOL

Lol, Well Doc what would you prescribe me some popular american expressions via PM. Anyway, what would your response to the square comment have been?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

...What does the Gorgon mean or represent?
- In Greek mythology, a gorgon (Greek: γοργώ or γοργών, transl. gorgō or gorgōn, "terrible" or, according to some, "loud-roaring") was a vicious female monster with sharp fangs who was a protective deity from early religious concepts. Her power was so strong that anyone attempting to look upon her would be turned to stone;

In the caribbean being called a gorgon is a name or strength and respect....

Aren't we talking about Medusa here? Cos I sure watched that movie as a kid. She had lots of snakes in her hair and when you look at her you turn into a stone.
Well, I'm guessing this thread has come to an end but let me tie up the loose ends. I did go to that game with her. As someone here had suggested I gave her a hug and kissed her on the cheek (she wasn't sitting and wasn't exactly facing me). I guess the only thing we did agree on was criticizing the girls on the field (lol). My attempts at Kino were met with a cold subtle resistance. At the end I shook her hand and she said "Thank you sir" At which point I wanted to scream. And then she drove off in this huge pick up truck. So, I thought to myself "I've just gone a date (well if you call it that) with a guy who looks like a woman. So, to all you guys who are gonna say "I told you so" save it or go ahead and say it anyway. I guess I've learned something from this experience. For all who offered their advice, thanks.
