I'm at the laundromat, and this chick is walking by me, way too many times. I haven't looked up from my phone once.
Silly girls!

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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.
Well played.
At a cafe, this one chick does that all the time, i mean "i know you're fine, but i'm the catch babe!" LOL!

Same thing often happens to me as I walk along the street. I clock a chick at distance, she's checking me out. I pretend not to have seen her, staring in to the middle distance, so she purposefully cuts across my path right in front of me to get my attention.
Happens far too often to be coincidence.

Got one earlier today on my lunch time walk. This chick across the street, looking right over with a cheeky grin. I had shades on so she wouldn't have clocked me looking at her (= no validation). As we draw level, I turn to look at her and grin back. She does the same. Really should have approached. Bit of a Plain Jane though.

Staring at em and getting all up in them without their effort doesn't help you.

Going your own way might be something that has to be done for a period of time to reestablish your identity.
On the looking at females. What has worked for me is to address ones that show a definite interest. Such as a double take. I will at least acknowledge those and possibly get a number if I'm single.
What has never worked for me is chasing girls or being all up into ones that weren't already crazy about me. I think Supreme calls it "h0e chasing" and it's a SIN...

In most of these cases, the girl doesn't find you attractive at all. She's merely attempting to collect ego points. The only thing you can say about a female trying to non-verbally engage with you is that you are not disqualified (e.g. too hideous or smelly) from ego points.
She's just trying to get you to show interest SO she can blow you off. It's things they do when they are otherwise bored (like doing laundry). It really doesn't mean much.
When you can actively interact with her and generate interest (that's verified, not imagined) then ignoring her is useful.

Just like we like knocking them off their pedestals, they like the power of rejecting AFCs.
It's good to ignore her but don't be one of those cell phone drones. Look around. Most people aren't looking up from their phone.
At Starbucks some snooty girl who looks like the standard 27 year old feminist Jewish Italian girl sits at the bar where they deliver the coffee so everyone must stand next to her, and she not only refuses to look up from her phone, but when the Starbuck's staff asks her questions she just shakes her head no and doesn't say a word and doesn't look up and still manages to throw a little "I'm annoyed by anyone interrupting me" vibe. You're not reading War and Peace honey, you're liking pictures of your friend's hamster. Luckily they know me now and usually hand me my Doppio on the far side of where she is.
^Agreed.
I have encountered numbers of them. They are out there collecting points like it's a pokemon game.
Usually ignoring these girls tend to be fun once you have generate interest, but knowing how to approach them is different. Women these days have an attention span of goldfish. Thus mostly i neg-em, flirt and leave it hanging in the air. Seriously, it works pretty good when you have other plates around.

She white, attendant is mexican. I'm there every other week.
So you must have had a sneaky peak then....so much for indifference.
"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.
