"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.

Here's the story. I have a class filled with ALL of the most popular, *****y, preppy girls in the class. It's even worse because I have to sit next to 2 of them... Anyways, a month or two ago i posted a thread about handling this one *****, but now this problem has multiplied....... These two girls are weird. I've never been one of the uber popular kids in my grade, so I've never talked to these girls before. I don't know if they're trying to be nice, or to get under my skin, but this is what they're doing. They'll take my binder, and write, "I love jokerlsk" on it, or take a my paper and write their names on it. They also just randomly talk to me. It's just awkward because this one girl, supposedly the hottest girl in my grade, is starting to talk to me, but idk. I've got 3 girls doing this crap to me, and I don't know how I should take it. I don't know if they're trying to pester me, or if they're trying to be nice.
EDIT

Now this other girl. A girl i've mentioned before is difficult. She's the type of girl that makes everyone she comes into contact with her tool. She's made two of my friend into her boytoy *****es, and it's weird. She's attractive, but I don't fall for that crap, and because i'm the only guy in the class who doesn't shower her with attention, she gives me attention. It's funny because she HAS A BOY FRIEND. I actually think that she's attracted to me not being attracted to her!!! I just don't want to be caught in her web. Now, I am interested in her. That's the sad part. I just force myself to not act on this attraction.

For example, my friend, who is her *****, and I have a joke because he says that every time he looks at her he thinks of a hippo, so he doesn't get chumped out. So one day he was talking about her to me, and she was eavesdropping, and i said, "Oh, you mean the hippo?" and she responds with, "I'm not talking to you anymore." which i'm completely fine with, but soon afterwards, half the class was chosen to attend this mock trial a class was having and the only seat available was the one next to her, so I sit behind her, and the FIRST thing she says is, "I'm still not talking to you." and I don't acknowledge her. Then 10 minutes go bye and she starts talking fluff to me, and I wait and respond with a smile, "I thought we weren't talking anymore?" so then she smiles and playfully punches me and calls me a "Jerk." so I smile again and say, 'Wow, you punch hard." and she says, "No I dont, you're just a baby." and I say, "Well from what I've heard, Hippos are abbrassive." and she laughs, and hits me again and I grab her by the hand and pull her in so i can rest my arms on her shoulders. I didn't pursue any further because I don't want to be caught up with her. I want her to know that I'm interested, but she's got a boyfriend, and she's dangerous, and I shouldn't be getting attached to something I can't have.
Just keep in mind that she approaches me. I don't say hey to her, instead, I wait for her because I know she'll say something. We don't speak every day, and I think it eats her up inside because I DON'T acknowledge her on a daily basis, so she feels the initiative to do it herself.

What do you guys think?
Advice?
 

"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.

Bro, I edited it.
Nah, i just feel like they do it to patronize me, and because with that one girl, I can't respond in a DJ like fashion. She's the only girl I get intimidated by, so the balls always in her court.

She's attracted to you because your different and your not being a pvssy. Even if your attracted to her, doesn't mean you need to give her attention. You can show your attracted...

How is she dangerous? Why can't you have her? You can have anything you want man, that's what being a DJ is all about - you choose what you want.

Because she's someone elses girl, bro. That's wrong. I don't care if he's an AFC, which he is. I see him posting on her face book stupid **** like, I <3 ya babe, and you're the best friend i've ever had.
She's dangerous because she toys with guys and treats them like a ***** after she has them. I have this glaring feeling in the back of my mind that she's just acting interested to boost her ego in a sadistic way. On a second thought, this experience has helped my technique out. It's just weird because I do want her deep down, but I refuse to give in to that craving.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Ah man, I though she was dangerous because she can get her boyfriend to jump you or something.

So just don't let her toy with you, be a fvcking MAN. And if she's too much of a b1tch, than that's her problem.

I would pursue a girl with a boyfriend... She should be with YOU, and not that AFC. I wouldn't feel guilty.

I don't understand how acting interested would boost her ego. Please explain.

She's use to everyone, guys and girls jumping at her command, and I don't. If I cave in I feel like I'll be giving her what she wants

Nah, I would see it as a challenge. What do you have to lose man? Better try and learn than do nothing about it.

I don't really have much to lose other than my over inflated ego.

The *****y girls usually aren't that *****y if you get to know them, usually it's bitterness labeling them *****y.

In HS anyway
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Simple. The whole writing "I love you" and bla bla bla stuff that she does with her friend is them trying to get you hooked like the normal AFCs. It didn't work on you so the chick got intrested in you and now is trying get you hooked again. Just continue with what you're doing. If you want something to happen with her just do like this: When you're for example leaving school or going to the cafeteria you whisper to her ear: Come to the café with me now. Then you start walking out of the classroom and outside the classroom you wait until she comes out and you go for a coffee.

I could've written this more nicely but I'm to bored right now.
 

"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.

Be different. You could play the game with these girls and have fun until they move on to messing with some other guy, or you could do something bold. I remember girls doing the exact same **** with me. I was a slow burner, I ignored that **** and carried on with my art/sports that I was into in high school. It took a year or so but then people understood I was a different kinda guy. Worked great after some time. In my case I usually defused the situation and carried on with my concerns, but that's not the only way. Turn it into an opportunity to hang out with them 1-on-1. Turn up the intensity, grab their binders and write something completely cheesy on them. Mess with them. Just don't be the one sitting there responding.

Either be able to step away from it as if you could care less (not in a cowering, stumbling out of the cave of a dragon wimpering way), or ramp up the intensity with these little games.
