"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 recently i have been reading the game. i have only made it threw the first 80 pages and prematurely used one of the pickup lines with no idea how to close it. I was with my wing at a clothing store and he grabbed a sweater vest about the same time a hb7 walked around the corner. I asked her if she thought the shirt would be appropriate for the Maury show. We talked for 5 min or so and after the opener was done i had no idea where to take the convo to close. Any ideas
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Man, shouldn't that just come natural? Sometimes I think I had more confidence before I came here. Seriously, what did they do in the 1960's? I know they didn't come here looking for advice on every little thing to do!

Websites like this didn't exist bac- What did guys do in the 60's? Oh yeah, they got off their ass and did what the fuck they needed to do! They weren't scared! They thought like Nike! Just do it. You may have stiff competition, you may not be a male model, you may not be a millionaire, you may have an entry level position. WTF are you worried about? She'll shoot you down? Maybe.

Luther Vandross said that "Don't care if I get rejected, at least then I won't regret it!"

Let this marinate.

Read my sig.

Understand it.

Case closed.

Tell her to give you her number, and pass her your phone.

Just don't act like it's a big deal, stutter when you say it, etc. Be casual, get some practice on several women, and it won't be much of a big deal. If you're comfortable with it, it will show through your actions.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
