"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.

Girl going cold after telling her I'm moving

Moving to another city in a few weeks. Ran into a girl who likely had a thing for me recently and in the beginning of the conversation, she was like she always was, flirty and bubbly. Then as the conversation turned, I broke the news I was moving during the flow of the conversation and since then she's been acting pretty cold towards me.

I've read articles where when women find out you're not going to be around for long, they tend to show MORE interest because they know they're going to lose you and now you're "scarce". But maybe that's wrong.

Is she being cold because now she figures there's no chance?
 

"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.

Sound like you were blowing her off when you told her you were moving. That would've been a good time to suggest getting together.

No, it's true. Scarcity is generally attractive, that's why her reaction is surprising. The only explanation I can think of is that she wants to protect herself from getting hurt emotionally. So, she wants to put an end to the story before she gets too involved instead of risking painful heartbreak when you leave.

Never tell them you are moving until the last possible minute. That way, you have detached but they have not (yet). Give them 3 weeks and they will be detached.

Sadly, when you tell a girl you are moving, they don't usually say "let's hurry up and have sex before you leave!"

Friday was my last date before moving (I told her 3 weeks ago). When I first told her, it was the most romantic. The next time, she turned cold on me.
 

"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.
