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.
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.
Dude, you need to value yourself higher. She broke up with you, right? That means that she initiated the breakup, which means that it's her god damn problem, and not yours. Obviously she doesn't seem to think that your good qualities are good enough for her, so she can go screw herself. One way to get over people is to do your best to meet new people, and to stay away from doing things and talking to people that remind you of the person that you're trying to get over.we all eat food said:My exgf broke up with me like 2 weeks ago for some other guy, and i still have feelings for her, and im having trouble moving on, its even harder when i see them kissing at school or holding hands
You're going to let your ex force you out of your group of friends? I sure hope not.we all eat food said:problem is that, my friends are friends with some of her friends, so should i get new friends or something?
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.

Definately a sound plan. /end sarcasmZerotwoonenine said:hey dude, my master DJ friend told me the best tip the other day, you know when you said you are friends with her friends?? pick the best looking girl from the group, start a relationship with her and when u get her hooked, kiss her in front of that girl, now we'll see results.
