"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.

So I met this girl wednesday night and chatted her up real quick before we left this venue. I could tell she was feelin it and I told her she should ask for my number and she came back with a responce telling me to ask for hers. Now my cell phone was dead and i eventually put my number in her phone and left. I eventually got the quickest case of oneitis any human being has ever got. My question is:

When does a girl usually contact you after you give out your number?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You know that feeling you get when you're about to call a girl for the first time? A little nervous. You want to make sure you say the right things. Maybe you think "I'm not feelin it right now. Maybe I'll call tomorrow."

Now imagine yourself without balls. That's a girl.

I hope she calls. It's not your fault your phone died. But it's a wildcard to expect the girl to make the first move. It takes some courage to make that first call....and girls aren't exactly known for their courageousness.

When she is very interested, she contacts EVERY time. With me, it is usually within a day, she will text.

Next time you give out your number, do it without putting too much emphasis on the outcome, and tell her something like, "Hey, here's my number, call me or text me." With the texting option, it is lower key, and she doesn't feel the pressure of having to take the initiative. She will text you, therefore giving you her number, then you can respond. Whatever you do, DO NOT request to get together by text. Wait until you get on the phone, and don't text too much before you get her on the phone.

You should have told her to text your phone so you could save her number.

When girls ask you for your number after you ask for theirs generally isn't a good sign.

No! It wasnt like that. Heres What happened:

[me] I have to go. You should ask for my number.
[her] You can't ask for mine?
[me] I would but sadly my phone's dead
[her] Oh! ok here take it.
[me] clicking*
[me] ok text me tonight?
[her] ok.

This is the kinda what happened because I dont remember the EXACT words because it was a couple days ago. But is there anything i can do?

Ever heard of pen and paper?

Nothing you can do about this. If you told her to text you, she might, as she seemed interested. Don't tell her to text you at a specific time, specially "ok text me tonight?", that sounds very desperate.

Next time your phone dies, use pen and paper, and give her your number, but take hers when she's offering it.

By being realistic. It was one girl you met on one night.

Either way. You'll get over it. You have no choice.

Not really. Just hope that you bump into her again. Or find someone new. There's always a new one.

THEY NEVER CALL. If they do, it's a miracle. NEVER GIVE NUMBER, ALWAYS GET NUMBER.
 

"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.

Dude, she said she would text that night and didn't. She either forgot or you got rejected. Get over it. I never understand having oneitis over a girl you don't know.

Some people on this board would completely disagree.. I don't. Girls now days aren't dependable, reliable, or respectful.

She may or may not contact you depending on her interest level. How to get your mind off this chick? Get your mind on another one.
