"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.

FR: Did I do something wrong?

Gents,

Had what I thought was a great interaction with a girl who I met at a club on Saturday night last week. She's the photographer for the most popular club in my city, and approached my group of friends to take a picture. I've got some experience of taking photos for club websites, so I took her to one side and teased her about her photos being rubbish. I made fun of her accent, teased her for being a perv and taking nude photos, and generally had a good time. I then went round the club with her and her camera helping take pictures, introducing her as my little sister/ my fiancée/ my new co-worker who doesn't know what she's doing etc. She was lapping it up, giving me the "fuvk me" eyes, hitting me in shock, squeezing my hand etc.

I then went back to my friends, got her number, and asked her to come and find me when she had taken enough photos. She did as bidden, and came to say goodbye as she was leaving the club with her friend (an UG2), who had been following us around all this time. It was immediately obvious that I was not going to be able to separate the girl from her friend, so I decided to go with them to build comfort/ get the friend's approval.

We sat down on a bench and talked for 20 mins or so before the girls took a taxi home. I made a point of ignoring my target and focussing almost exclusively on her friend. This seemed to work: I got the friend laughing and telling me her life story, and every now and then the original girl would chip in and compete for my attention and comment how "she had done ... too."

Fastforward two days and I hit up the photography girl with a text referring back to a joke we'd made. She responded enthusiastically. I then asked her to meet me at a party on Tuesday (which was awesome, btw). She said she was busy, but asked if I was going to any more parties in the near future. I've now invited her to a party on Friday. Almost 24 hours have passed and I haven't heard from her.

Any comments on the above interaction would be great. I've got numerous other girls in my sights, but it confuses (and, if I'm honest, frustrates) me that a girl who initially showed so much promise hasn't got back to me.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Patience.

And while you wait, go bang some other girls. Makes the wait more enjoyable.

You didn't do anything wrong, you just need to be patient and see if she gets back to you, if she does fantastic, if she doesn't then fantastic. Chalk up it up and move on.

If she doesn't get back to me, should I re initiate by phone, or does that seem too needy?
 

"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.

Don't invite her to a party. Invite her to the house.

I wouldn't bother, the balls in her court! If she is interested she'll get back to you.

Decided to call her. It worked- we're going for drinks this evening :)
 

"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.

She just left my flat. We didn't sleep, just talked and fuvked the entire night. ;) She seems a little bit crazy (all the most attractive girls seem to be), VERY flirtatious and a bit too into tickling/ playful punching etc, but other than that... awesome!

Nice one mate. Thank Christ you never followed my advice. :crackup:

It just goes to show you that if a girl is really into you and wants to bang you she'll find a way to bang you and you really don't have to do that much to get your end wet.

Keep us posted on your progress mate.

Haha. You sissy.

See, you get all worried because some girl you barely know went 24 hours without contacting you.

Now you know not to worry all the time.

Things work better for you when you're relaxed

Sometimes even the most interested girls need a little push. You followed your instincts and you got rewarded for being right.:)
