"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.

How do you keep the faith going?

Man after having so many dates, so many relationships and so much irritation, what do you guys do to keep the hope up?

Honestly if it weren't for the physical rush of meeting and banging new girls, I'd probably just give up on going out with new chicks completely since they all end up disappointing me.

Get a life, man! lol
Man's purpose in life is to spread the seed, not get disappointed in girls.

Take it easy

Ricky,

What adler321 said. Get involved in other things so that you're not thinking about women so much.

Until you find the one (or ones) that are suitable for you, you'll necessarily have to go through many.

Think of it like this. Many tons of rock & dirt have to be dug up and sifted through before you find diamonds and gold. Keep digging and you'll find that gem of a girl (or girls) that are worthy of you.

Don't sweat it. Have fun.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Mav

Ricky, you are wound way too tight.

You are thinking way too hard about stuff that should be instinctive.

Take a deep breath and relax.

"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.

You're acting way too melodramatic, man. You are a man, aren't you?

If your life is busy enough - women won't be on your mind so much. (ie. Polite way of saying get a life)

Actually my life is really busy and that is part of the problem. I seriously at this point have time to date only one or two times a week. That is why I hate it when it takes a few dates to find out a chick is a loser.

In a few months this will change since I'll only be working and I'll be done with grad school.

How else do you plan to find out about a chick other than spend a little time with her? Getting a job ain't gonna change that.

Ok well this time I got fooled by her after a few dates. I thought she was worthwile.

ON the other hand maybe it was just one bad date. Time will tell.

She sure as hell did piss me off though.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
