"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.

BTW Nobody--you've left out the option that she may call you first.
 

"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.

Cool. Whatever she says I can guarantee that what Mr. Me said and my agreement with him are correct. :whistle:

I do not agree that not contacting her at all is a wise decision. I agree that multiple calls and texts if she doesn't respond or if get her v/m is very very bad. Voicemail, dial again. Still voice mail, dial again.... etc.. that would be horrible.

But 1 call or 1 text, and that's IT, cannot be a bad thing in my opinion.

:rolleyes:

I can see from your OTHER thread that you sent her a text.

Lol. Don't take this the wrong way because I did the EXACT same thing... guys told you what worked for them, but it wasn't what you wanted to hear so you listened to a girl instead becasue you knew she'd tell you what you wanted to hear.

THAT'S NEEDINESS. That's what your'e trying to conquer here. Again, I did the same thing.

Nothing against iqqi AT ALL.... but I'm telling you, chicks can tell you the opposite of what works. They'll tell you to act in ways that are different from what they are used to... they'll tell you not to do what the guys they get together with do.

They tell you the opposite of what has worked on them. And they are extremely well-meaning with their advice.

So hopefully this works out for you though. Just stay confident.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The problem that you guys are having is that you know that you need to do something but you have no idea what it is. Blathering to her about the sex is the worse AFC thing you can do. Avoiding it is the only thing worse than texting her. What is she, your bowling buddy?
  1. Call her voicemail. This doesn't mean call her and hope she doesn't pick up, call directly into her voice mail. If you don't know how, figure it out.
  2. Tell her who it is and say that you had fun spending time with her. Don't mention making out, having sex, or any other form of fluid exchange.
  3. Say that you'd like to get together again and that you'd call back soon to set a time.
  4. Hang up.
Five to ten seconds tops is all it takes. You're being a man and actually CALLING her to show her that she merits something more than a generic text message (using your voice is more genuine). You're in her voicemail so you can focus on the message and not get derailed by the awkwardness of tiptoeing around the sex thing. You do let her know that you had a good time (ie. the sex without being so blatant, you don't want her to feel like a receptacle) such that you'd like to see her again. Finally you keep the ball in your court by telling her that you'll call her soon (a day or two max) to coordinate another get together.

I swear, one day I'm going to start charging you guys. :yawn:

Of course when I mentioned to say he enjoyed the sex, it was a joke.

I guess you can do anything as long as you're confident. Otherwise anything you do will be not-confident.

How about this for an idea?

I call a different girl and forget about this one for now. This is exactly what I am going to do I got those 10 #'s for a reason.

:eek: He didn't.... Was that before or after the $50?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

:p

"$50"<--now I'm just lost.

This thread is insane. I thought if you got laid enough times this confident shyt would just rub off on you.

I'd probably use what you suggested Francisco, it's classy because it's just a message. I don't think it's needy... but asking a hundred people what to do is needy.

Which is just what I do! Lol.

Yeah yeah keep giving me a hard time.. She'll be calling me again trust me.. I'm not stupid, she'll be back.

In the meantime I'm going to use some #'s I got and stop worrying about her. Plus I have another date Tuesday so whatever.

We were fukking last night I busted a nut literally in her face and I am worrying about a text and a call. Give me a break.

Just stop asking chicks for advice. Other than that you'll probably be ok with this one. I want you to succeed because I want me to succeed. :crazy:

Don't laugh. Guys call David d'Angelo, Neil Strauss, Mystery, et. al. marketers out there just to make a buck, but with there so much of a need for this stuff it's easy money. Don't worry though, I already know that the real money is not providing the service online. Way too many cheap fvckers who will just download the stuff and then gripe about it when they don't execute it correctly. :rolleyes: Oh well, just more for my notebook...

Lol. You know I appreciate your advice brother!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm pulling for 'ya but the whole sending her a text is a lot like a guy who was on a business trip and had secured the services of an escort. Though that would have been more like $500 rather than $50 I'd guess.

I feel like I owe Francisco money for all the help he has given me over the years.

Well she was free last night and didn't complain when my nut shot across the bed into her face and hair. I wonder what her parents thought when she went home.

Bottom line is I contacted her and that's it. I feel better for doing it but that's all I'm going to do. An AFC would keep trying to contact her 20 times until she picks up and I'm not going there.

On to the next target.
