"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.

E-mail?

Hi everyone,

I'm a new poster on here, and I have a question about e-mailing. I met a girl and we didn't have the best rapport but I asked her for her # anyways and instead of giving me her number, she said she'd just e-mail me. I thought she wouldn't and was just trying to lay me off easy and I would never hear from her again. But she sent me a message just yesterday with some general greetings. So how should I approach from here? Most girls I meet just either give me their number, give me a fake one, or flat-out refuse, but I've never interacted with girls over e-mail.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

What I'd try to do is get her number through E-mail.

If she gives you her number, call her and set up a date.

If she refuses, ignore her. She's not interested in you, and you shouldn't be in her.

If she didn't give you her phone number the first time it means the interest isn't strong enough. maybe talking online is her thing. I'd ask to see if she has a screen name or something, it can work almost as well as a phone number. I think there are actually some girls that don't like talking on the phone, maybe SN is the way to go.

If she lives with her parents then she doesn't want to give her number to 10 guys for obvious reasons -- so e-mail is more private! You can still game her but rapport is necessary -- after a few weeks ask to meet her for a function!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So should I just ask to meet her with my next e-mail? I'd prefer to get some interaction with her personally. Maybe interest is there but not strong? SO should I just talk with over the internet for a while or go straight up for a meeting?

she may just be afraid of phones (don't know how many girls are actually like that, but I myself don't like calling people much). Email is so much easier to pace.

Just email her back once or twice and then ask her to meet you somewhere for lunch or coffee. After the date, get her #. (If she doesn't give it to you at that point, blow her off.)

If she actually contacted you, it takes very little effort to respond and try to set something up. The date is the important thing, not the #.

I can relate to this thread, I got the email of a girl in my class. I was hoping to develop more of a rapport with her, since I didn't know her that well. She however didn't email me back. She did have a cell # but was hesitant and shy to ask for it.

You wouldn't hesitate to ask for the number of a old lost friend now would you ?? Same principle here there is no harm in asking for her number so don't be scared the worst thing that can happen is she chucks a mental and says no.
 

"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.

Well right now I guess I'll interpret it as somewhat interested but interest isn't strong enough. However, what if she never respond to my e-mail that I sent back at her? Does that usually mean my response was the problem or did I never have a chance in the first place? Girls should just say no if they're not interested and cut the e-mail and messenger stuff.
