"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 don't want another friend (Thanks to KontrollerX for giving me the idea)

Alright. Here's a little background info; Some of you might remember that I had a ****ty case of onitis about a month and a half ago. Long story short, as you all should have guessed, this onitis screwed up my game and I went and got myself Friend Zoned. This girl ended up moving to a different country, but she's coming back next summer. Anyways, before she left, I made a move and she rejected me. Okay, whatever, it happens right?

So I thought I handled it well. I mean, I just pretended that it never happened and went back to being friends with her. Now I chat with her on IM every once in a while and such. But after reading a post by KontrollerX here, I realized that what I did was wrong. After she rejected me, I should have cut all contact with her. I should have let her know that I didn't want her as a friend. And that unless we were going to more than friends, I wouldn't want her in my life anymore.

I've learned this lesson now, and I don't plan on making this mistake again. I suggest that if you didn't already know this, you remember what I just wrote.

Okay, now here's the actual reason I posted this here. I want to ask your opinions on something. I've realized what I've done wrong here, and I want to rectify my mistake. This girl and I chat on IM every couple days now. Next time we talk, I want to turn the conversation towards the whole crush thing. Then I want to essentially ask her that if she didn't move to a different country, would she have gotten together with me. She will of course reply "no". Then I'll just say alright and make up some BS excuse of why I have to go. Cut contact. I want her to know that if she doesn't want to be in my life as more than a friend, then she's not going to be in my life. Sure, I might see her next year, but the same rules will still apply.

What do you think? I trust your non-emotionally-clouded opinions on this. What do you guys know I should do?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

You're trying to make it into her fault. Trying to drag her into an argument so you can feel that this is her own doing, and have your guilt/responsibility assuaged. This is a messed up mindset.

Instead of trying to place blame on everyone else, look at your actions and what you did wrong, and improve upon that. Yeah sure, perhaps you two wern't compatible, but where did you fail, and how could you do better next time?

If you're going to cut contact, do it. You don't need to have a huge row beforehand.

But look at yourself. Why did you get to the point that you saw this girl as an investment, and why you pinned your oneitis hopes upon her.

Somethings in life are better off not knowing. Forget, about the past. With, the would of, could of, and should of... It's been done. Now you got the knowledge with what to do right. So, go out and make something happen.

Yeah, that was kind of retarded. I didn't talk to her, and I don't plan to any time soon. I'm just sorta dropping her from my life. Maybe I'll try again when she comes back, if I still feel like it.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.
