"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.

long story short
i was bored one day and decided to go to the mall. went into a store that a friend or my brother's works at, we'll call her girl a. anyway, i see another girl, we'll call her girl b, who i've talked to only once before. shes pretty cute. anyway, when i get to the store they're pretty busy. i talk to girl a for a bit and girl b comes by and says hello then goes back to work. as im talking to girl a she starts talking about how girl b thinks im cute and asks me if i like her. i say "yea". then a few mins later i see her talking to girl b and the 2 giggle. girl a refused to tell me what she told her but claimed to not have said a word about what we had talked about before. i told her that i didnt really care if she had (helps me out in the long run). but she insists that she didnt. i get the bright idea to go get girl b's phone number but she disappeared somewhere in the back (they're still busy in the store mind you). so i ask girl a to go get her for me real quick. girl a disappears in the back and instead of bringing girl b she comes back and tells me girl b's phone number then goes right back to work. id been there for a good half hour ad was running late for another commitment so i said my goodbyes and left.

after the fact i thought to myself "i wonder if girl b knows girl a gave me her phone number". i should have asked girl a "girl b knows you're giving me this right?" now im kinda afraid to call her. i dont wanna look like the creepy guy who was too afraid to ask her for her number. i was quite content with doing it myself but she doesnt know this. should i call her anyway?
 

"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.

i've never believed in getting a phone number from someone else. just seems creepy to me. think ill be able to play it off if she says "how did you get my number?" only in the severly repulsed sort of way not the happy and surprised way.

Smooth, it's good your being proactive, but why didn't you just ask the girl herself for it? Her friend is going to tell her she handed out her phone number to you and if she doesn't like you, she won't be answering anyway.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

This is just an idea, but i'd either:

A) call sometime, play it off like the girl pushed the number down your throat before you could ask her

B) delete #, in a few days ask girl for #/to chill, say you didn't actually put it down or that you were just doing it to get the friend to not bother you, but you thought about it and want to give her a try.

IN THE FUTURE DONT GET THE # FROM THE FRIEND! :)
