"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 blew my chance with this one girl who found me attractive it took me a year later to finally have the confidence to ask her out. I got everybody language to show she was attract by me and expected me to do a move. She would always gaze to my eye give me smirks and staring at me and even glances She slowly started acting cold and distant so I knew i **** up.
Found her on social media recently and chatted few times talking about school she ignore few messages here and there but still I decided to ask her out even when she was uninterested through text. I was rejected with boyfriend line, she appears to be single in social media no pics of any guy.

I still see her around new campus at school and at first acted cold still maybe trying not lead me on but now when we are around each other we acknowledge one another and keep walking. We never talk in person only chatted as strangers online. I don't know if is a good idea to finally talk in person for the very first time. I don't want to ignore her completely and seem like a little ***** cause of rejection just play it cool. Is there any way to get out of auto rejection?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

These posts are always the same, new member, bad grammar/punctuation, in school.

You have to talk to them to find out where you stand. Just do it.

OP- you haven't even put yourself out there. You are operating from within the confines of your self created safe zone! She likely see's you as a little faggot that is afraid.

I see two choices. #1 find another girl and parade her around in front of this girl you are crazy about. #2 go direct, tell her she's a hottie and tell her you want to take her out.

when you only talk online, and not in person with a person you actually see in public then it creates an awkwardness and paints you as socially weak.

A girl saying "no i have boyfriend," is not interested. Especially if there is no boyfriend.

OP, first off welcome to SS.

Regarding your issue, it sounds to me based on your post like your confidence is improving but still has a ways to go. I would suggest looking for some women who you are not interested in or have little interest in, and chatting them up (in person). It can be a natural human reaction to get nervous and freeze up, screw up, etc. talking to the person we most want to impress. Wanting to impress her and only her is another issue, but before going there, I think you need to work on your confidence. Start making small talk with random women. Or shoot, if you really get stuck and can not do that, do it with random guys. I know that may sound funny, but you aren't going to be hitting on any of them; you are simply making small talk in an effort to build confidence. And the more you do it, the easier it will get. Then when the right time comes, you will have a much easier time talking to the woman you really want to talk to.
 

"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.

OP, don't pay any attention to her. She's always rude to new members. :p

Op, i also believe you're working from the scarcity mentality. Is there anything about this ONE girl that really makes her so special? Unless you say "Superpowers", your answer is wrong.
