"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.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
First day of college. Sittin' in the hall waiting for english class to start. Short hott hispanic girl walks in and sits on the bench opposite me. She catches me lookin' at her, I smile and laugh after she looks away. Then its time to go to class, so I get up, and I hear her get up and walk behind me. We get close to the class, and I turn around walking backwards and say "Are you in the same class as me??". She's like "I think so...". So we go in, I sit, and she sits behind me.

I spin around and say "Hey, have you eaten yet?". It was about noon. She says no. I say "Let's go to Chili's after class, k?". She makes a surprised look, and she's like "....uh.... yea sure!".

So basically, I got lunch with a girl without even knowing her for 2 minutes, or knowing her name. Great, right? Of course. We traded names and stuff after that, and went to eat once class was over.

This is where the "till it wasn't" part comes in. We're chatting at the table, and then she asks "So what are you doing after this?". I said something about heading back to my dorm, and I redirected the question at her. She says "Oh, I'm gonna go wait for my boyfriend". :eek:

So yea, all that for nothing, I suppose. I'm still gonna game her, just on a lesser scale. If they break up or whatever, then I guess I can move in. Someone will probably tell me that bf's don't matter or whatever, but its not like I don't have a whole college full of opportunities. I'd rather not get a bunch of drama going right at the beginning of school.
 

"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.

Well, the best thing you can take away from this is a new twist in your game, even though you wasted a bit of time on her :)

Nothing wrong with trying something different to make things more interesting.

If you think you can get her why not move in now? If she likes you enough maybe she'll leave her boyfriend for you.

Maybe she just wants the chance to flirt though, why else would she go out to lunch with you; I'm sure she knew why you offered to take her to lunch.

She may have ****-tested you man. Go for it anyways. Make her say no.

Alot of my number closes come from a girl that says she has a b/f. Just ask her when the wedding date is. When she laughs/says it's not like that just say "ok it must not be that serious then" and move for a number or date..whichever your going for.

Props to this site, where I got that tactic....many a number close due to that one!:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Similar thing happened to me a while back.

At my college last year, we were obliged to choose some sort of "activity class" from a list of possible options, presumably to force some physical excercise to go along with the normal classwork/etc.

Anyway, the list was very grim I can tell you now....but in the end I chose some swimming thing. BAM, I walk into my first session and there's a stunning hot girl sitting by the pool, bikini-clad and all -- so i'm thinking, nice one there, you clearly made the right choice you utter genius (*laughs at loser friends off playing tennis*what a mistake-a to make-a). Anyway as I was saying, I see this hot girl (HB9 maybe) ... I was extremely nervous but pulled through eventually and started a conversation.

I cant remember many details about what I said to her (it was last year)..though I do recall a great joke about me being good at the "breastroke":cool: . We talked over a couple of sessions and I eventually got the nerve to ask her out for a coffee after class....[suspense]....she agreed! and seemed enthusiatic too, so I thought "great, i'm in there".

After swimming, we immediatey met up as arranged, and hit the town looking for somewhere to eat. And You'll never guess what happens next, yep...she gets a call...[ring ring]
Can't remember exactly what is said but it's something to the effect of "oh, its my boyfriend":rolleyes: ..and then she says "hey, do you wanna speak to him?" I MEAN WHAT? do I want to fvcking speak to him? jesus christ. Let's just say I didn't.

So yeah, we had coffee, it was dull, and things kind of went downhill from there on.

Why do they do it? why do they accept an obvious come-on and then rub their BF in your face? :crazy:

Ace of Flames, isn't it great to attend a new school and start fresh, especially with an understanding of how male and female interactions work? I love it.

Nope, not a clue:confused: Maybe she though it'd be funny/gets a kick out of that kinda thing.

Its pretty random though...
 

"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.

We paid individually.

Konjac: Yea, its an advantage for sure. Its fun to watch people squirm in social situations, and interesting to notice a pick-up that I probably never would have seen before.
