"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.

So. I've read the bible, etc.. recently divorced.

Meet a friend of a coworker at a bar. Hit it off, kino, big signs of interest. After an hour, leave together. Go for a walk, kiss, back to my place. Says she's not gonna have sex and shes a virgin. (Know to be untrue now)

I Text her 2 days later. Flirt in a few texts.
Ask her to bowling, says it sounds fun and she'll check schedule
Next night, I text and ask her out specific time.
Says "shoot I never text you back the other day" can't, has church (ash Wednesday)

I say "If you're interested, get back to me. If you're not, I had a good time and wish you the best. Your ball."

No reply

On FB later we talk a minute then I straight out ask if she's interested.
"Yes I would like to hang out sometime I should get my schedule Monday or Tuesday so I can tell you when I'm free then.

Talk a minute and end it.


Now Tuesday night, no word.

Flakey? **** test? Hard to get? Legitimate excuses? No interest.

Next move?
 

"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.

She doesn't sound very interested and can smell your desperation to top it off. You shouldn't have asked her again the next day if she hadn't gotten back to you.

Cut contact, only let her initiate contact and come to you. That's about all you can do, and I wouldn't hold my breath. Start meeting other girls.

Sounds fair enough. I wonder where I went wrong. Hard to tell if you're not following me around I guess lol

Don't contact her on Wednesday either. Ball is in her court. You already explained that to her. Your words.

Don't F up even more.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

It sounds like very low interest level. Just because she fooled around with you one night doesn't mean she is up for more.

Back off and see if she contacts you. Odds are very slim here. I'm sorry man.

Well I appreciate the advice. Sometimes the "slim chances" response is really what a guy needs to hear. Lesson learned right?

Wish I could have learned the lesson on, oh, a 5! But can't go back haha

Umm, you shouldn't of asked if she was interested. I think that killed it completely. You stuffed it up man. Find someone else. That's a question you leave for the girl!
