You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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 didn't really like her personality either. My thoughts are that she might be good for a quick bang if I'm ever in the need.Originally posted by dragonrb
Take this as you want, it's just my opinion.
I think picking up girls online is too easy. And in my experience, when I get things too easily, the enjoyment of them doesn't last very long.
As for this particular girl, she seems extremely shallow. The only thing she seems to be interested in is what kind of car you drive or how much money you make. And finally, her intelligence seems to be rather diminished based on my analysis of the way she communicated in the IM transaction.
Though not exactly the same thing, her question about which car you drive reminded me of this scene from the movie "Swingers," where the AFC finally musters up the courage to approach a hot girl at a party, to which he is shot down immediately by her question: "what kind of car do you drive?"
That being said, if you manage to get this girl, you should exploit her for her money. She's apparently loaded anyways.
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.
