"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.

Giving off an aggressive/scary vibe to women?

I think I give off an aggressive vibe to women whether I know them or not. I'm pretty big too and weigh 200 pounds, so that doesn't help with women being comfortable around me. I do get girls and have a girlfriend(we're not exclusive), but my aggressive tendencies come out. Even when I was driving my girlfriend around she said "Where are we going? It looks like you're taking me in the middle of nowhere to kill me" lol. I'm not needy and I feel confident with women, though I don't know how I come off so aggressive and scary to others. I figured an aggressive vibe was great for sexual attraction. So what could I be doing to give off an aggressive/scary/possibly nontrustworthy vibe?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Canada, eh?
Maybe you are too tense or serious. Body language may be an issue. I am big too, but have baby face, people still dont ride with me in the elevators. Some say I have a heavy gaze that can creep people out. All these subtle things that people pick up on can have a huge effect.....

Your not responsible for someones irrational fears. Im big too, 6'2 260lbs. I look like a linebacker and I also have a beard im growing .. Oh yeah and im dark.. But not changimg any of that because someone is intimidated. The way I see it if someone fears you they are beneath you

Rather look big and intimidating than look like a *****

I'm 6'5" 230 and used to be a very nervous person, with lots of fidgeting. You need to detoxify as the nervous energy is caused by artificial colors and flavors like MSG that are ubiquitous in fast food. Trust me on this. You'll feel serene after a fast. Girls are indirectly observing this as you are emitting the same crap you eat with your vibes.

But your doctor will says it's Restless Leg Syndrome and prescribe meds, side effects which include suicidal thoughts...

Are you a fan of Deicide? Do you look at all like Glen Benton? Because if you do that would probably throw somebody off.

You probably just give off a weird vibe and are probably kind of a weird dude. Nothing wrong with that, quite the contrary in my opinion actually, especially if you have a girlfriend and are happy with her. Being normal would probably be even worse since it would be an act.

You are probably an individual and walk your own path. Be proud of it, it's not always easy. But it's usually satisfying. Get used to misunderstandings.
 

"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.

I'm built like Glen, but I don't have long hair. Yes, I never really fit in with the more normal/country type people here, but I can still attract those types of women.
Me and my girlfriend have fights every week but also do regular sex. I'm not completely satisfied by her and know I can do better, but I like hanging out with her, though we have very little in common. But somehow it works.
