"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.

"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.

Five words:
What do I do now?
or
What would you do now?
And now you screwed up my screen name...

Haha, bad screen name on your part!! What is the crux of the matter???
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Um...I think she might be using me, unknowingly or not, to get over her trust issues.
Her bitter spitefulness might be replacing true affection for me.
She's not over her ex.
I'm probably just a paranoid jerk (I realise this.)
Basically, could this be the real deal? I doubt you can answer this for sure, but I don't know.
I get the feeling I have some heartache headed my way.

You got yourself into quite a pickle with this girl. Now you see what hot woman's disease is like. A really hot girl tends to make a horrible girlfriend usually because her emotions toss her around when all her options start popping up. They typically fall for the shallow alpha males because they know how to push their buttons quite well.
Here's what I say. Only hold on as much as she's holding on to save your dignity. Tell her that if she doesn't want to be together with you, she needs to stop playing games on the real. Tell her that you're not gonna be some backburner dude while she just lets her emotions control her life. You're not a stranger to confrontation, hell, I salute you for going to Starbucks and confronting her about it.
I know this phrase of advice is used a little too much on this forum, but when a girl starts giving you mixed bullcrap like this, it's best to be a man and put her back in line. If she refuses to treat you the way you deserve to be treated, she doesn't deserve you. They tell us all on these forums that we are the prize, and you need to honestly believe that if you're ever going to have a healthy, functional relationship.

here's a thought: ditch the girl and work on yourself. You obviously dont have a powerful enough life built up to keep a girl of this calibre in orbit around you. So you want to orbit around her. Thats why your making posts on this board and she probably isnt making posts about you on a feminine board. Well, that situation will be very temporary even if it does succeed. It will be the quick fix rather than the long term solution.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

When you click with a woman it works out so well that you dont end up posting about it on boards asking for advice. Clearly you WANT to click with this girl and for her part, you DONT click.OnetimePoster said:-She's an amazingly cute-funny girl that I really click with.
If you have to post this kind of pre-emptive aggressive defense, denigrating this board's posters, you clearly are working from a position of fragile ego and general insecurity. I know where you're coming from though, dont worry about it. I might have posted with the same snotty tone 2 years ago.Of course this forum is filled with idiots that won’t even bother reading and will only come up with a glib, shallow conclusion that will just end up insulting me. So in advance: Go screw yourself you jerks.
Stuff likes this speaks volumes about who YOU are, doesn't say anything about the patrons of this forum.
You're defensively insulating yourself from the interaction with this board's posters before its even taken place. Its obvious you fear it, or the issues that might be brought up by it. And well you should, you're living on ego rather than natural confidence and your trying to prop up a fragile self-concept. Like I said, work on yourself first.Of course I appreciate any serious responses, not that I'll come back to read them.
