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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
GotED? said:If you are with a woman who has HIGH INTEREST in you, the attraction should not expire regardless of ALMOST anything you do. A woman who is REALLY into you, you really can DO NO WRONG.

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.
I'd even wager that you can make them wait longer than a month. See a high IL chick once every couple weeks and continue to escalate each time (without culminating in a kiss) and she'll want to fvck your brains out.VladPatton said:ED's right, it's pretty interest-related. If she's very attracted to you you can make the bıtch wait a month. It'll send her into a frothy foam! If she thinks not too highly of you and just said yes to a date with you out of boredom, then you can try to kiss her 10mins or 10 hours into your first date and you'll get the cheek. Choose wisely who you ask out.
