"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.

Ive been using facebook to try to set up dates with girls in different social circles that ive met at parties who've added me and past highschool girls.

Im having mixed results which tells me im not doing something optimally or just running at par.

for instance past girl from highschool is home on college break. My buddy tells me she asked if i was still with my ex in a conversation. I shoot her a message saying we should get some lunch and catch up. Day later:

she replies "sorry just read this now! How long are you home for?"

Me: "late january, blah blah how about you"

Her: "jan 23rd"

Me: lets do something this week how does tuesday work for you mrs. Johnson?

Then bam no replies. Stuff like this is 50/50 for me. Some meet up, the others just stop talking after showing some interest.

Maybe just nature of facebook?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Facebook is like real life...you gotta develop some attraction before you can make your move, otherwise, you'll fail.

What I usually do is start off with a nice C&F comment on one of their statuses or pictures or something. And then leave it alone for like a week or so. Or sometimes I poke them. They'll poke back, and then I'll leave it alone. Gotta get them thinking about you, even if only very briefly.

Ok, so now you're (hopefully) relevant. Then, I'll wait until they're online. Find some B.S. reason to talk to them...something I've always fallen back on is mention how I had a dream that they were in (describe the activity you were doing...I usually try to make it innocent but the way I describe it comes off as mildly sexual. And make sure to tell them how awesome it was, whatever you were doing).

Anyway, that's just what I do, but you get the idea. Build some attraction, THEN get the number. Just get the number, don't try to set something up over Facebook.

I deleted my facebook for that sole reason alone. I used to get lazy sometimes. Never be lazy. It also adds mystery to you.

ill keep this in mind. Im experimenting with a few different things but seeing the shield go down on ones who i message/chat with a bit first. Be it bringing up a funny experience we had, etc.

Ill try that dream thing out next time and see how it goes.

The big stumbling block is that face to face interaction is the only thing that builds gut-level attraction. It's worth a shot trying to get her interested online, but a lot of times there's a disconnect between attraction on facebook and attraction in real life. Don't ask for the date via a facebook message- that's the lowest priority means of communication. Get their number and either text or call.

More often than not, allowing her to have access to your facebook page will do more harm than good, so I'd avoid adding girls right away unless you have A LOT of social proof online.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
