"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.

Months ago I was browsing some site (can't even remember what one) and I saw an interesting post about PUA techniques.

It contained an acronym - DENNIS - which had 6 points about how to make women more attracted to you and how to "gain power" in relationships. Very roughly - it was something like this:

D - Deny affection
E - Encourage dependency
N - N.......
N - N.......
I - I.......
S - S.......

Anyone know the full thing?
 

"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.

Such a great show and oddly a great method considering which character in the show it came from.

one of my favorite episodes as well. It just always made me laugh whenever I watched it.

Its way too harsh though for real life. It's close to being psychopathic! I agree with Dee.

Dee?
 

"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.

The show "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" main female protagonist. She says that the way Dennis is using it is psychopathic.

Personally, the way that this system could be used is very dangerous for some of the people involved.
