"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.

Got a friend you'd like to turn into a girlfriend? This line is quite effective.

This has happened to most of us, I'm sure. You've got a friend who you've known for some time, and suddenly you start seeing her in a different way. So what do you do? Well, we've all read the basics- start acting more like a boyfriend and not like a therapist for their daily problems. Initiate kino a lot more, etc. etc. This stuff helps a lot, but where do you go from there?

Here's what I did. I was with my friend who I've developed certain feelings for, and we were talking about normal everyday things. Of course, I've been using the above techniques and they were certainly going in my favour, but I needed to really start initiating things. Funnily enough, one little line worked wonders for me, and here it is...

"You were in my dream last night, y'know..."
She'll inevitably say "really..?"
"Yeah... you didn't perform that well, though!"

Boom. That's it. I took what should have been a horribly cheesy, creepy line and I made a joke out of it. I could have easily relented at this point and said "only joking, I didn't dream that at all", but I didn't. So she asked me why she didn't perform well, and I went into elaborate detail, keeping it playful and teasing. Nevertheless, I knew exactly what was going through her mind at that point. So, from that moment, it was game on. Suddenly the topic of sex became very popular with us, and best yet, it felt comfortable and right. It was simply a matter of time before we made this fake dream a reality (but I should point out, she does actually perform quite well!).

Give it a go. Avoid all the awkward conversations like "so err, have you ever thought of me like that..?" This worked for me, and it just might for you too.
 

"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.
