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.
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 understand it, but telling a girl she's an "animal" is funny? Not very James Bond like IMO.faiNt` said:She said she was going to be at the zoo all day or something to that effect. He busted on her telling her she's an "animal" in a joking way.
It really isn't that hard to understand.
So what if its not James Bondish? Its just humor. No one said that you had to be a complete slick ass to pull this kinda sh!t off.DonJuan11 said:I understand it, but telling a girl she's an "animal" is funny? Not very James Bond like IMO.
Wow man how old are you? He was just being funny with a little arrogance thrown in, hes not supposed to be James Bond, hes supposed to be funnyDonJuan11 said:I understand it, but telling a girl she's an "animal" is funny? Not very James Bond like IMO.
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.
On one hand, I think it wasn't that bad of a C&F line, but it was a little immature/corny. Not really a bad line but there is much better. You yourself are 16, and lines like this are great for teenage years because they are kind of corny. However I also agree with the person who said its not that funny. If the OP is over 20-25 or so, then I would think that this would be a horrible line, because becasue at a certain point everybody's sense of humor matures.HandyAndy said:Wow man how old are you?
