"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.

1. Invited her on a trip this weekend last saturday.
2. She was very excited, said of course. Startex blowing me up all week.
3. Invited me out two times this week in which we met up for a few drinks.
4. Yesterday she acts distant, knew shed flake.
5. Today she tells me she cant go cause she has something else goin on saturday.

Havnt reaponded to her yet. Me and her have history, i needed a date so i asked her. Im upset she only gave me a days notice considering i could have asked someone else, my fault for not having a plan b. I will not be attending this trip now as my boys are bringing their girls, but i was wondering how to respond.

Was thinki g about either ignoring the text; or waiting a few hours and responding with "ok".

I would like for her to be a bootycall option in the future but if i have to cut ties for good to keep my pride then its w.e. what would you guys do.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

No contact to the flake text is an option i considered but if she texts me later wanting to bang it out im gonna respond. I want her to be around as an option so thats where my curiosity cimes in. To respond or not to respond..

Were fwb but it aggravated me she waited a day before to tell me, even though i seen it coming last night

Here's a great thing to learn from this: realize how little control you actually have.

She knows how much she likes you. If she wants to reach out, she can.

You will NOT succeed at creating interest where none is, you will NOT succeed at fanning flames of desire by strange withdrawal moves. That is an ILLUSION.

What you do now doesn't even really matter. Her internal desire is going to determine the future of your relationship and there's nothing you can do about it.

How's that for male empowerment? lol. Sorry man. Im just trying to represent what I think is truth. Guys spin their wheels when their actual ability to influence things is just so pitifully small.

I disagree. I can text her back "YOU STUPID SLVT!" and ill look like a desperate idiot. I can text her back "hey no problem its totally okay i understand!" And shell walk take me as a beta she can walk over. I can respond "k" and shell see im pissed off and it could go a few ways.

This is a chick ive known for a while. I want to get the point across she wasted my time and ruined my trip, without having to demonstrate it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Why what? She disrespected me in the fact she had a week to flake and she waited til the last minute. I can find other things to do but next time i have the opportunity to lay her ill take it out in bed.

America is best
Respond with indifference. Find a new one. If she comes around, try to **** her. Otherwise don't waste your time, it should be more valuable than that.

Cause there was no apology in her flake. "oh i have this to do saturday i have to be there".

No apology. She proby dont care, and the fact weve been texting all week probably gave her ego a little boost she wanted. I want to pull that rug from right out under her. After 3 hours though i think im just gonna ignore it.
 

"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.

The only time you respond to a flake is when they counter-offer. When that happens, there's a higher chance that her excuse is legitimate. No counter-offer = no interest.

It doesn't hurt to pursue it. I've had women use that on me and then successfully meet up on the second attempt. I think some women get "cold feet" when it comes to a first date, but then go for it.

If she cancels the second attempt, then she should be dropped.

I don't always drop flakes immediately. I've gotten some good sex from flakes.

What you should do now is raise the stakes. This means work LESS and make her work more.

No more "dates" from now on. She needs to come directly to your apartment/house or you cut her loose. Those are the terms you should follow now.

Next night you're free and have no plates to f*ck send her a text like:

YOU: Hey, free tonight?

If she says yes say:

YOU: Great. Come to my place for a movie.

If she rejects this offer THEN go NC. :up:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
