"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.

Thanks all, every little thought you guys have put have been great insight for me honestly!

So I asked her out and made it sound too casual as if it was 2 friends whom had not caught up in awhile. She said yes though. Anyway how can I fix this and show her that this is an actual date? Cheers.
 

"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.

if its you and her one-on-one, its a date

feel free to playfully tease her about it not being a date, however

"this isn't a date" is a card that either of you can play. if you play it first, now she is reacting to you. if you leave it for her to play, now you are reacting to her

this also helps show that you aren't needy and desperate and dependent on the outcome. additionally, while she suspects you like her, she isn't quite sure yet

No!!!

state the intent of the "date" to her. But do it once you meet her in person.

Say something fun like "I asked to hang with you cos I do fancy you by the way!"

If delivered cheeky and fun, then it will go down a treat!

Do what he says. You can NEVER be too casual, as being all serious usually drives women away. Please, dont confuse being direct with being too serious. Whatever the outcome, it doesnt mean that fun has to stop. Some older women and the uninterested types do require you to state that it is in fact a date. It also depends on what you have been doing with her until this moment, e.i. being sexual. The fact is that if she likes you romantically she will automatically treat it like a date.
