"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.

Hey guys,

I am going on a date this Saturday with my exgirlfriend. She broke it with me 6 months back primarily due to my self esteem / confidence, and needyness issues (went through a period of depression with her) - got through the depression successfully.

She has her guard up, and seems to not respond well to blatant kino (hugging).

We are going for a hike - any advice to get her interest and attraction level toward me back up? This date (or chance) could make or break things. I want to make progress, even if its tiny steps.

My strategy: Keep things light and fun. Cautiously input subtle kino, and build it up from there. Keep conversations flowing, input funny remarks here and there. Bring a camera for pictures (she is into taking pictures of leaves during fall). Shes an art student by the way (if that helps).

Most importantly, I need to soften her up slowly and gently to bypass here guard - It is important that she becomes comfortable with my touch again.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

A) This is a horrible and weird idea and completely regressive for your self-esteem and confidence

B) Since you probably won't heed that advice, just internalize the feeling of not caring whether she comes back or not. Dont fake it, dont sell it to yourself, be legitimately over her and you will probably have some success. Until you have that, my guess is you are SOL and shouldn't go out on a "date" with her

Alright i think the biggest thing in this situation is that she thinks she has total power over you... for the simple fact that she probably thinks you want her back so badly that you'll practically do ANYTHING!!

my advice is to just to relax.. u dont have to pull some canned routine on her to draw back her attraction.. she has agreed to go on this "date" with you already, so their has to be something shes interested in... play the fun friend and keep your cool.. shes gonna test your manlyness.. recognize these tests and shoot em back at her..

good luck and like i said play the fun flirty friend
