"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.

Anybody ever use "Don't I know you" or "You look familiar" as an opener? If you have, has it worked out well for you?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

don't use the exact same opener on everyone in every situation, you should use an opener taylored to the person you're opening, they'll be much better that way, because they won't be as restricted as one size fits all ones.

Thats a pick up line in my opinion. I dont use pick up lines but i think the only time that works is when you have actually met before. If you are crafty with conversations then this or almost anything can work though.

And yes use your situation and surroundings to your advantage. Like theres this girl in my class, hb7.5, and she wore a tennis shirt one day and i asked about it.

I saw a guy use that and the girl giggled in a flattered way, but I could tell she wasn't interested. I think seems over used, false, uncreative, and it's too obvious what you're up to. I'd only use it if its slightly true and you think there's a big chance she'll like you. If she's beaming at you and furiously playing with her hair and trying to lock eyes with you and quickly darting away then you can say whatever you want as long as you're confident.
