"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.

I got a number from a girl in my class. We are going to be in a study group together. I am def gonna ask her out.

But the particulars I had questions about. She asked me to send her some file and I was thinking of sending it to her but saying under only one condition that she goes out with me.

Now I was wondering should I do that in an email, or call her up, she gave me her number, she gave it to me even though I didnt ask for it.

I was thinking a text maybe like " hey, I got your file but in return you're gonna go out with me next week :)"

Or should I just call her and do it over the phone? I feel like text is impersonal and I can't use my voice and joke voice to make it fun.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Well for starters, that line sounds gay as hell.

You could just say, "Hey what are you doing Tuesday? Let's meet up for a show/drink/bowling."

The more important issue is - have you done anything to build attraction with this girl? Or are you just assuming that having a chick's number from a class = "I should ask her out."

Because getting a girl's number in class, and her asking you for files just sounds like normal college networking and not sexual interest. So ask her out if you want. But I don't see any indication that you've laid any groundwork with this girl.

So you want to blackmail her into going out with you?
