"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 had a date with a girl last week who i number closed 5 months ago but she never responded to me to meet up for a date. i dont know if she had a bf at the time or whatever but she contacted me out of the blue about a month ago.. i came across too keen rather than making her work harder so we didn't meet up.

i contacted her last week as a last strike and if she didn't respond i'd just forget her, she did and agreed to meet up that night. i already knew the IL level was so low that i'd need to raise it firstly esp not seeing someone for 6 months.

she didn't even bother to dress up, she came in sweatpants and said she had to get back early so couldn't be out too late.

i knew to expect something like this so i wasn't surprised but it was more a test whether i could raise her IL. We get on great but i'm still not skilled enough to get her completely all over me and when i left the night and said goodbye and tried to kiss her cheek she was a bit apprehensive.

i contacted her today to meet up for a date tonight, i knew in my mind if she didn't give me a yes or a solid counter offer this would be the end of it cos she'll just want my attention which i no longer will give her.

i didn't even bother with hello how are u in the text, just straight get dressed up for me and i'll be taking u to x place, lets say 9pm?

she sarcastically it seems responded back in text: 'hey how r u? im fine thanx lol. i cant make it tonight cos im out of town till late.'

to me this is definite 100% NEXT.

i already deleted her number 5 months ago so it looks like time again. i'm not going to respond to that text, or should i?

it's down to her to come back to me.. knowing what shes like she may contact me with a stupid 'hello how are u?' text in couple weeks to see if she still has me.

i think it's pretty clear that she's not interested so nor am i unless she makes effort to make arrangements with me.

should i make this clear in a response saying it's up to her now? im thinking it's better to just say nothing and end it.
 

"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.

Caveat: i'm new here so i have a low post count, so take what you will from that.

Anyway: what is your objective with this girl? LTR or ONS or FB? Sometimes I think a lot of guys here overthink the whole "should I next her" thing. To me, if you think something is up, i.e., shes lying to you...then next her if it feels right. If you just want to next her because she didn't counter offer, that's lame and overreactive. Not all girls are going to counter.

i think she's demonstrating quite clearly she has little or no interest in me and only wants my attention and wants me to chase.

i'm done doing that.

the question is if she contacts me in a few weeks asking how i am.. how should i go about using that want of attention into an f-close?

no no u dont follow, she called me up about a month ago and i made the mistake of not making her work for my attention.. the framing was all wrong so i contacted her last week as a last shot to see if i could get her out. i already knew the IL was too low but i wanted to test my skills i've learnt the past 6 months. i did ok but not enough for a girl with low IL.

i've decided im not going to respond to that text, nor anything else she sends me. i want her to feel like she's lost me and my attention. it's time for me to start taking control of my frame and the frame.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
