"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.

I dated a coworker who's only part time at work and it got serious/intense quick
Were together for half a year but hung out every day and bla bla. I've never been a big afc, I'm too proud naturally but I did do and feel a lot of deep pathetic things both during and after break up.
Question: it's been a year since break up, I'm doing great now. Have a new girl who is incomparably better in all ways, I spun plates for several months, landed an awesome job etc. We've had about 6 big meetings within the organization to which she was supposed to attend but hasn't come to one. She didn't come to the Christmas or new years party. She has veven dropped shifts when she knows it'll just be us two. Why?
 

"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.

who cares?

You shouldn't. You got all that going on and still care what's up with her?

Forget her.

Because it's awkward being around your ex for extended amounts of time.

**** it dude. Move on like you claim you did. Who cares?

girls are crazy, that's why.

As long as you didn't act weird towards her after the break up, and moved on.....

then she still has an emotional attachment towards you. She either can't be around you because she knows she has feelings for you and it would bring them out. Or, she thinks you will notice, which you did, and make an attempt to contact her, which you're not.

I'm not fixated on her or this situation, just thought I'd type out loud and aee if any dj's have experienced something similar or had some input.

Break up was tough and inspired my move to here and a huge change to my game. So much good came out of this experience which at the time was pretty hard. I feel as if this is at least one up on the whpres who regularly destroy afc's. Perhaps a case sample for men starting their dj journey to read. My ex was your typical attractive dumb b1tch who went through life doing as she pleased.

DJs ruin whpres through living life confidently and successfully.
 

"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.
