"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.

OK. Does anyone have any idea what the bottom line is about those girls who tell you in the first 5 minutes that they are virgins? It happens now and then some cute girl - usually, very cute for some reason- will pop up and before youve even found out if she's local or not she'll drop that clanger. You don't know if it's true, you didn't bring sex up, just... bam.

Generally, it'll be a girl who you find it really hard to believe about, she'll be 18-23, HB8.5-9 and she will smack of naivety, which may or may not be a front. It's not a secret confided in you in a moment of trust, it'll just be volunteered with the slightest reasoning, breezily, like they might say they like curry.

What is their game?

Is it a lie/ploy, and if so, what's it meant to achieve with me or the next guy?

Is it true, and somehow you managed to elicit that particular information in record time, possibly because it's at the front of their minds suddenly?

Is it just evidence of damaged goods whether true or false, that they're determined to tell anyone? I go with this, currently.

What do I make of it?
 

"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.

Turn it back on her...
"That's a pretty good ploy you've got going. Does it always work?" ... get her to qualify.

Just reply with something along the lines of "hmm.. oh well, i guess we cant have sex then... I dont want you getting to clingy;D" .. u say this in a joking manner obviously, and then see by her reaction if she is interested in you or not.

Attention whoring, definitely. I still find it an odd thing to use though, true or not. Just makes me think... ice queen...
