"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Alright, A friend of mine likes this girl, but she has a boyfriend (I know, I advised against it, but he pursued anyways.) Anyways, he hadn't seen her with her boyfriend in while so he pulled this little number;

Him: Hey, are you still going out with what's his name?
Her: Steven, yeah
Him: Damn
Her: Why?
Him: I totally have a crush on him, but I can't do anything 'till I get you out of the picture

I lol'd, he was wondering if he came of as too ghey. What do you guys think?
 

"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.

It's high school, so yes, people probably will think he's gay. It's a decent approach/random line, but used in day game or with friends/acquaintances, it can backfire.

Really lame.

At best, she might crack smile and did nothing to further things with her- at worst (and likely) it probably came off as just weird.
 

"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.

That's either crossing the line or getting really, really close to it. Depends on how he said it. You can make homosexual jokes with your guyfriends, and it's close to the line but not crossing it. If your friend didn't know Steven, then it would be pretty gay. Imagine Steven if he heard that guy said it. If he was a big football guy, he'd probably play smeer the queer on that guy's face.

Actually, it's college, but whatever.
She did laugh. He told me he said it obviously sarcastically and smiled at after he said it.

oh, and I got it wrong, he said "I totally have a crush on him, but I can't do anything 'till I get you out of the picture, Why Else?"

And yes, he has met Steven before, but I'm not sure how well they know each other. I think it was pretty funny considering he made it clear that he was only kidding, but it really depends on how he said it.

lol, Yeah, my friend's a natural semi-DJ. Sometimes he comes up with good stuff and other times... well yeah.

If he said it the way I'm picturing it in my mind, I think it was pretty funny

Sounds weird. IMHO I would have said "I totally have a crush on YOU, but I can't do anything until he's out of the picture."

Hmm, but if you do that wouldn't you might as well straight up tell her that you like her, which (as far as I know) is something you're not supposed to do.
