gotta love that one.
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.

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.

Her: I have a boyfriend
You: What's his name
Her: Steve
You: I heard Steve likes little boys
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.
that's what i usually do...Originally posted by THA REALNESS
"oh word.... so anyways ...." keep on grinding the conversation along.
So what if she's telling the truth.
Hahah! I'm using this ASAP! Whenever a girl mentions another guy, i usually come back at her with something along the lines of 'holy ****, so you're cheating on me?!'.. so this'll fit right inOriginally posted by McKindley
Her: I have a boyfriend
You: ****! Does he know about us?
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.

"I HAVE A BOYFRIEND" -- means "I don't want to talk to you, so please leave me alone. " whether she is telling the truth or not.
Who cares what she wants? Do what YOU want. Whether she wants you to hit on her is irrelevant - you're there to fvck her and that's final.Originally posted by check_mate_kid_uk
i think theres another important issue here, not just what to say in reply, but if she says she has a boy freind. even if its true, does that mean she does not want you to hit on her, is she playing hard to get or what? could some one shed some light on this topic because im not so sure about it myself!
