"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.

Hey guys, so I talked to this girl in my English class all this week for the most in the past two years I've been in her classes. She always thought of me as quiet but seemed to like me being talkative and stuff around her. Got some decent kino and flirting. I got her number yesterday as we left class. Now I've decided from other threads I've read hear I should text her since we are young and I still don't know her too well. So I was wondering what to text her besides, "Hey, it's *******"
Should I immediately start asking about a time to go on a date, since they say not to drag out a convo?

And I won't have my license til mid June, but i believe she has hers, so do I ask her to pick me up? lol

So thanks for the advice in advance guys!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

First off: rules are guidelines, not to be stupidly followed.

Always start with a statement. It doesn't require her response, and it works better.
Eventually lead the convo towards a meet up.
Convo should have an end goal (meet up / increasing attraction in order to meet up), your texts should reflect that.

My very first high school girlfriend, I remember I first texted her:

me: "hey guess who this is"
her: "[double x]?
me: "no it's [creepy guy who always tried to talk to her and we laughed about it]"
her: "wait is it really???"
me: "ha just kidding it's [double x]"
her: "omg! haha you scared me!"
me: "well if you are scared that easily...you'd probably be afraid of rock climbing with me"
her: "noooo i could totally do it :)"
me: "i doubt it"
her: "is that a challenge?"

blah blah blah flirted, set up date, said i had to go finish homework, checkmate

Oops...You kinda waited two years too long!

Something I learned from Igetit - the longer you wait to act romantically or sexually with a woman, the more she becomes comfortable with your non-romantic/non-sexual behavior, and the greater your chances of being put into the Friendzone.

If you want her to be more than a friend, you have no time to waste, and you need to show your interest in her immediately.

I'm not saying it's not possible to date her, but you're going to have to make all the right moves from here on.

I think He was saying that they've been in classes for two years but that he'd barely ever talked with her until this week.

Still, in ALL cases, you shouldn't waste time (although sometimes you have to have some paitence).

Just don't beat around the bush. Whack the bush a few times to get the convo going and transition quickly into setting something up. I like what double x did, although It wouldn't fit my personality for me to use those lines myself.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yeah now I'm not sure what to do next, go figure.

So I sent a text last night saying "Hey." She asked who I was and I jokingly told her who I was, and she replied "Oh hey I'm out with someone right now and can't really talk"

I replied back "It's all good, text me later"

No response.

Now I know you're probably thinking that by someone she means a guy, but this I highly doubt. She hardly seems to hang around any guys, but who knows I truly think it was just a test to see how I took it or to make me jealous of her.

The thing I'm not sure about is she hasn't texted back and it's been over 24 hours. So do I text her again tomorrow it like sometime next week, or what?

Don't wanna seem desperate cuz I don't give a **** if she doesn't like me, but I don't see the point in giving up so easily.

Something strange was I got a restricted call a little over an hour after I last texted her. I was driving(permit), so I didn't answer. There was no voicemail. It may have been her and some friends but it also could've easily been other people. This parts not that important though. I just want the question above answered.

I think you should wait until Monday to try again because if she is interested in you she will txt you back before then. If she doesn't txt back it's no big deal just try building more attraction in person first then you should get more responses from her when you txt, and also don't txt her everyday. Try to txt her every other day or every two days( I'm sure you get the idea)

Honestly, don't text anyone too frequently. Even my closest friends get annoyed/bored if I text them to much. Its worse for girls because then it makes it seem like you're needy or just plain boring.

Personally, I NEVER text a girl on a Sunday.

Yeah I have no intentions of texting her today. I'll also probably wait til the middle of this week to text again.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If she isn't texting you back, you didn't build enough comfort. More than likely there wasn't enough kino (remember, comfort-building along with kino builds comfort much faster).

Your best bet is to call her instead of texting. If she didn't respond to your first text she will not respond to a second one. However, since a phone call is an instanteneous thing, it is more predicated on her mood at the time, so just because a woman doesn't answer the phone at one point doesn't mean she will not answer at another time.

Hope this helps.
