"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.

Recently hooked up with a girl at this party I was at, chipped a tooth in the process, and hit my head (things got a little rough). So I added her on facebook (lots of common friends), what should i say? not trying to get in a relationship or anything necessarily (although i did have a good time), just stay on good enough terms to keep her wanting more.
 

"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.

Accept that you are too inexperienced at the moment to keep her.
No advice would allow you to keep her.

Instead, get overall success in your social interactions.
You've already lost this girl, persist for the experience but don't be too disappointed.

Start looking around here and make a logical start with goals in getting overall success, then take that knowledge to the real world or you'll never improve.

Give it a while and you'll look back at your initial post from a new perspective.

All I can say is socialise like crazy, everything will work itself out.

I agree with some of what Accension said, disagree with some. Definitely as he said work on building up your personal network of go-to contacts to figure out where the party is at or where people are hanging out at.

That said, with the girl at hand, I disagree with Accension and say hang out with her some more. Send her a message on Facebook saying something like, "Hey, I had a fun time at the party. Let's grab a cup of coffee on (whatever day you're free) and hang out for a bit." Do NOT refer to the hookup unless she brings it up. You're not being ****y/funny by doing so. Trust me. It can be done, but not easily, and frankly, there is no need to at this point just over Facebook. You can be ****y/funny over coffee--in person.

lol, sounds like when I dance with one of my girl friends. We always push each other away than pull back together so bumping heads/faces is common.

thanks man, thats pretty much what i thought id do but its nice to hear it from someone else. i generally have a nice social network where i can go out whenever i want, i just havent seen this girl around before (friend of a friend of a friend) so i figured it would be worth the effort to stay in touch
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
