"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

This message from a girl I know. But I only just got her number again the other night. She texted me the next day asking that. I didn't reply cause I thought it was a stupid question or just her way of seeing how desperate I might be to talk to her? Would you ignore this or text her the next day sayin you were busy or just wait until the weekend to invite her out (which is my plan - unless she invites me first lol)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Just answer her. You are over analyzing. No one is THAT busy that they can't answer a simple question.

if your goal is to bang her then ignoring her probably isn't the best method. thats what you do AFTER you bang her :D

To be honest I was busy at the time and couldn't be fuked replying to a stupid question like that. I know she'd start asking question after question if I replied. Sometimes Im just not in the mood. It would of turned into a chat over text. I'm seriously just going to reply later and try to arrange a meet up for the following day.

Also I thought why not just ignore her for the one night, let her think about me until I reply :)

DUDE!!! this is a great opportunity!!!

Just say... "OHH its great for you!! You get to toy around with the stick" XD
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Are you trying to get with this girl or is she just an annoying friend? Her mentioning something like this might be her way of reaching out and getting you 2 to hang out. Girls will usually not overtly ask someone else, she might be trying to use this Wii topic to get you over. I'd reply and see where it goes.

Ask her if she likes Zelda. If she says yes, you should marry her. Love me some nerdy girls... As long as they're cute.

She might be just acting friendly, or doesn't know how to flirt, or is asking a basic question. Who knows. Her Wii could be acting up. Not everything has a secret meaning behind it. "ZOMG SHE WANTS SEX!!"

I dunno I was just trying to teach her a lesson I guess.. she's fairly good looking, has huge tits. I don't want to act like every other guy and reply too soon and eagerly.. I know this girl but not that much. Just wanna take it slower and make her chase me a bit for once. I just replied saying "Nope, sorry :(" she replied straight away with "Yeah its a bit late. I sent you that last night. N u?" I replied "And me what?" then she just replies "Lol :)" < wtf

lol now a different girl just text me "Hey you have been quiet last few days, hope ur well :p" but shes not as hot.

I seriously just wanna turn it around and make them chase me. Hate chasing them especially through texting like a dog waiting for them to reply. Thats why im trying to minimize my replies and small talk. Should just set up a date for weekend and leave it that way.

You have the right mindset, and strategy... Gotta let them chase.
 

"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.
