"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 putting her number in your phone when getting the digits.

"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.

doesn't mean much. It's so early on.
Call her and see how it goes from there, of course.

Uhh yeah I'd say that's a show high IL... but don't get too wrapped up into it you still have to be on top of your game. Take it as an IOI but nothing more good luck with the follow up.
thanks. Just thought it was odd cause there's really no point to it. Never had a girl do that, except when they put their number in my phone when i didnt even ask them for it. And im always on top of my game bro :up:

i mean, if some guy you didnt really like wanted your number, would you GRAB his phone and put YOUR digits in. I think it was a subconscious way of her making the whole getting her number process as effortless and easy for me as possible...just my take on it.

I thoroughly agree Tear Gas... but girls get approached all the time and probably by men they have high IL in - I mean only 3 types of guys approach: 1) Confident bastards who are successful 2) Crazy people who want to improve or get a rush from social anxiety 3) Guys who rarely approach and get the courage to make a move (and probably get rejected and revert back to not approaching for months-years). So you're really left with 1+2 which is probably a group of interesting, decent looking males who women will find attractive or at least more so than the average population. That being said, she's probably been attracted to approaching males before -- so don't read too much into it and let the game proceed.
Yeah, you're right, im reading way too much into it. It's just a number.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
