"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.

Celebrity HB wants to go out, but my friends are warring

Interesting weekend to say the least.

I met a small-time celebrity this week, who honestly is as close to a HB10 as I'm ever going to meet - not putting her on a pedestal, simply being realistic. I learned that I actually know her best friend, and that the friend must have put in a good word for me (even though I haven't seen her in awhile). As a result, HB-near 10 and I exchanged numbers, and she jumped on the chance to join my friends and I the next time we hit the city, an hour or so away. She has never been and wants to check it out (of course her best friend who I know and her girl friends can come too).

Great, right? Well, determining which group of friends get to go is going to be an ordeal. You see, I have two close groups of friends, but of whom would surely go on the trip. However, I learned tonight that the groups don't like one another, and I'm stuck in the middle. We were all at the same bar tonight, and apparently things boiled over - was getting texted by both groups simultaneously about the other.

My question to you guys is how do I handle a situation like this with my friends? I can't exactly lie to one group, but it's clear I can't bring both. I feel asking the small-time celebrity out on a date is going a little too quick since I don't really know her well. Having a few friends in a group setting (both mine and hers) will help immensely.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

She already willingly give you her number.

I don't know the exact context, but you probably feel more comfortable in a group setting because you might be subconsciously intimidated by her status and looks, like most of the guys she meets. Stand out, show confidence, and ask her on a date.

Avoiding a date because you feel it's "going a little too quick" and because you "don't know her well" defeats the purpose of a date. It's not like you're asking for sex right off the bat.. a date will give you a 1-on-1 opportunity to build attraction, and yes, get to know her.

You'd ask a girl you just met in line at the grocery store on a date wouldn't you? No difference here, you're just a step further because you already got her number.

Bro, what are you doing? Why would you invite a good looking young celebrity who you want to have sex with out with a bunch of your friends and her friends? Do you know how many things can happen with a bunch of people you know that will decrease your attractiveness in her eyes? If you want to have sex with her, you have to ISOLATE her form everyone and everything until you do. Otherwise she will get distracted.

You haven't even held hands with this girl and you are already worrying about all your friends and the setting. What are going to do when one of your close friends tries to make a move on her? You will absolutely freak out.

You DON'T bring any friends in it until you have had SEX with her. Even after you've had sex, you don't bring them in. You have to make her absolutely fall 100% in love with you and give up her body 10X and then you can consider it. Your friends will backstab, destroy, and undermine you in front of her in order to make themselves look good and you look bad.

Group dates?

You are already overthinking this. You should just NOT hang out with this women because your frame is steaming pile right now.

Ask her out on a real date... she might shoot you down, if that happens you can put this behind you. I suspect the reason you would even consider a 'group date' is that your gut is telling you that she would turn you down.. just get it over with. It is better to KNOW for sure than live in regret or hang around hoping things get better.

Know this... a women knows within 10 seconds if you have a shot. Right now you are living Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment. The answer is there, but since you won't open the box you don't know what it is. Go get your answer.

She just said she wants to go to the city with a gaggle of your friends. You're a acting like its a date with you. It's not. It's with a group.

It's not you she wants to go out with. It's an experience she wants to have.

Just go.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

A lot of really good advice here, thanks. There are two reasons for my apprehension - not saying it's justified, but the reasons nonetheless:
1.) I didn't meet her at a bar or a night out. I was on the road for something work-related, she happened to be in the area and passed by. Outgoing person that I am, I struck up a conversation. Got her number and then went back to work.
2.) I've had a bizarre 2016 when it's come to women. I went on a date with a girl who thought this would help her chances with my friend (it didn't), I spent a few weeks with a girl who I found out with an ex-con shortly after we stopped seeing each other, and a girl who, not unlike the previously mentioned, was not who she seemed. My point is, my trust in reading women has now become shaky at best.

Know this... a women knows within 10 seconds if you have a shot. Right now you are living Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment. The answer is there, but since you won't open the box you don't know what it is. Go get your answer.
I looked up the Schrodinger's Cat experiment and it was interesting to read up on. You're right that the answer is already there, I just haven't opened the box. I guess the reason I was looking for a group outing is to get to know her in a more social setting and thus be able to get a better read.

This is a terrible idea that you made worse by involving two incompatible groups because you couldn't resist telling them and involving them.

Group dates are no way to 'get a better read' of a woman.

IF you recover from this, just ask her out for a drink.

Fortunately I haven't taken any action with the aforementioned plan, so I'm still riding a clean slate.

Leverage the fact that her best pal knows you & likes you. Just ask her out. Go for a hike or go have a drink, something where you can chat and get acquainted. I'm a fan of an activity first. Do something together.

Purpose of a first date is to see if you want a second date. If she chats to her girlfriend the girlfriend will say "Oh you'll like LadyKiller, he's a cool guy" and that will happen in the background. So she will actually social proof you without you being there, which is a neat trick.

Then take her for drinks on a second date & escalate if appropriate. On the first date get to know each other. This builds repoire and context and connection for a second date.

A woman that pretty who is semi famous is used to all manner of cheesy come ons, men falling all over themselves and being pedestalized. Treat her like a normal person & take a genuine interest in who she is beneath the veneer. She will appreciate you if you can be real with her & allow her to be real with you.
 

"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.

Might have believed you if not for the part in bold. You're in denial.

This situation is doomed to failure due to you handling the situation like a b!tch.
