"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.

Your appraoch sounded all right. I think you need to escalate more. Ask for the number, build a bridge to hang out with her again.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How do you relate not getting a number to a failed approach? What if you get a k-close, and don't get her number? Hell, what about a ONS?

Numbers are overrated--at some point, guys here stopped trying to get dates with attractive women, and started a collecting numbers. The flake rate is so much higher with numbers-only closes than with, say, a date-and-number close or an immediate-date close (change of venue), it's not even funny! Ejecting and getting a number is barely better than just ejecting.

I agree with the paradigm shift idea, though. It is a numbers game, after all. (Sorry, bad pun.)

Yeah, I agree with you guys I just have to work up the balls to ask for the number even if I do get rejected. I don't know man, I guess I'm just in the mindset that if her buying temperature isn't super high or something, she won't give me the number. Like, I've vibed with girls and it seemed like we were having a good time, but then she'll decline the number.

Before you told us that it simply wasn't your goal to not get a girl's number, but now you confess you were just afraid? All those other approaches you've made were a complete waste of time. Spent a lot of months STAYING IN THE FIRST STEP without advancing. If you do get a number, you're at least making some progress, but you could have had this progress upon the 6th day, not the 6th month or whatever month you've been doing this.

Numbers aren't everything go, I've know a dude who's gotten attraction, kisses and all that without getting a number.

Though you've said that you were always afraid of not getting a number, which means it was your intention to get one.
