Suddenly occurred to me how important it is that a girl likes your smell. What are some great colognes? Or even pheromones, as was previously mentioned.
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.
If you never tried artificial pheromones then you should not be knocking it. My ex-wife liked "Instant Shine" and was always aware when I put just one spray on it. I never forgot her reaction to it. She would say she liked the perfume but I never told her it was a "feel good" pheromone, she thought it was a normal perfume.I like CH Men and Creed. Just don't over do it. Artificial pheromones are a joke. Your body creates it's own pheromones; just like a woman. Stick to bulking up, some decent cologne and high confidence.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
