"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.

Update:

I left it alone and didn't bother calling or texting her after that time last weekend. Then she texts me tonight, saying:

"Hey, I tried to call you a couple of times this weekend, but your phone went right to voicemail. I really just wanted to apologize for acting like a jerk. I'm basically tabling my social life until I get through my translation exam."

I'm not sure if she's telling the truth or not about trying to call me. My phone does have a tendency to send people straight to voicemail sometimes and not show me the calls; but she didn't leave any message. Also, she did tell me that she was preparing for this exam during our date.

So, should I ignore it or text her back? If I do text, I don't want to look like I'm too available for whenever she has time. And I don't get why she would even do this now, more than a week later.
 

"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.

Ignore it.. She just sent you that for her own egotistical purposes. Just leave it at that.

Same thing happened with a girl I was seeing. Same thing. I wanted to do something but she had to study and cancelled so I didn't contact her for a whole week. She called one day and wanted to catch up. Maybe that's why she was calling you.. to offer another date. People don't usually leave voice messages.. I don't. So it's possible she really is busy and maybe still wants to keep you around. I wouldn't remove her from your life just yet. Try give her a call back since she called you. If she answers tell her you're going out on the weekend to some place or whatever and if she would like to join you. I dunno, think up something. But try her one more time. If she bails again leave her alone until she's done with exams and contacts you again.

Yeah, I think I will text her back for now just saying something like, It's cool - do what you gotta do. I'm leaving town this weekend and will be gone for the next week anyway, so there's no point in trying to set anything up with her now.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
