"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.

I never thought about this before, but i usually get silly and creative when asking someone out, example: "Last night god told me in a dream that you really wanted to go out again, so i'll pick you up at day X at time Y for dinner.

I started thinking about this a few minutes ago and it just hit me that this kind of stuff might be kind of gay, but seriously now, is that dumb? Should i just be cold, dry and direct instead?
 

"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's never stupid if it works.

Cold dry and direct doesn't really work on women. You want to project the mood you want them to feel.
Makes sense, it always worked fine as i always get a giggle and a yes, i just thought that by cutting the funny out of my invites might raise my sucess rate a bit.

For some reason women interpret funny as nervousness in the beginning, for instance when you’re in the process of asking them out.
 

"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.

Another example for you guys: the girl i'll ask out a few days from now for the second date said i should do stand up comedy because of how much i was making her laugh (her words), so i was going ask her by saying something like this: "i just set another comedy show for you with me, i'll pick you up at day X time Z.

I just feel smoother asking them out that way after disappearing for a week, but that's just my point of view, which is why i'm asking you more experienced gentleman. I'm just 25 after all.

So you just do it straight up?
For me straight up has always worked the best. Whenever I’ve tried to be a joker they didn’t give me a straight answer or dodged the question, I guess because they didn’t think I was serious.

I've never ran into that problem, cause i specify the date, time and place at the end.

I like it!

Women enjoy it when you're fun and playful. I would randomly send text messages saying things like "quit daydreaming about me and get back to work." I've never had a bad experience with being playful with women over text.
 

"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.

Was that a text? And if so this is a great example of why most guys text game is so feminine. You said so yourself.
I never text date invites, i think the tonality and the way you say it matters a lot, i'd obviously be saying something like that with a slow, deep and sensual voice, in a sarcastic/humorous vibe.
