"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'm texting some bird, and she rips on me for being old!! Im 21 shes about to turn 19.

So the conversation goes like this:

Her: Old joke at my expense

Me: Such a charmer, too bad your too young for me. (Shes only 2 years younger)

Her: Its okay I have a boyfriend, he's 20, too old for me too :L.

Me: No 20's okay, your just not ready to handle someone on my level yet :p ahaha!!!

Her: Oh right... dont want someone like you or age anyway. :).


How do i reply to this & have i used the disqualifier correctly or have I shot myself in the foot?

Cheers guys.

UPdate:

Me : Someone LIKE me, [her name] you cant have me either :p

Her : Ohhh right, or you. I dont need someone else :L hahaha

Me : I never said me, Jeez, behave yourself!!

Her : Thats really good then. Your terrible!


How would you guys say this went? Fail or well? She seems to have reacted well as shes still texting me even though my intentions are pretty clear :L.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I don't know about "False disqualifiers" and all these PUA gimmicks. But I do know that you're spending way too much time texting this girl.

If you're trying to get in her pants, then make it happen or walk away. But don't spend your time feeding her attention while she goes home and f**ks her boyfriend.

As far as saying "You're too young for me." yeah, I thought that was a cool, funny way to flirt with a girl. But after that, it's just looking like two high school kids killing time in between classes.

I'm not one of those guys who says NEVER text a girl, but if you're gonna text a girl, at least make sure that it ends up somewhere where you can see if there's interest (i.e., "meet me for drinks"). Because otherwise, trust me, a girl with ZERO interest will still be happy to waste your time as you shower her with attention.

Your attempt at false disqualifying didn't work. Here's why:

When you disqualify you want to do it in person OR when the woman already see's value in you.

If she only see's you as another orbiter chasing her then it comes off as cheesy and try too hard.

That's the overall vibe I got while reading your text exchange; you are trying to hard to act like your suave. In other words, it doesn't seem natural yet.

Keep working at it though, experience is the best teacher.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
