"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 was at the store tonight to print some photos and not knowing how to use the machine, I started teasing an HB6 next to me that she should help me. We started chatting and she explained she was copying all her childhood photos to a CD. I told how I just burned all my childhood vhs tapes onto dvd and she expressed interest in doing the same, asking if I could loan her my burner, or help her do the same. I was really nonchalant about it and said yeah, that should be fine. Next thing I know, she's handing me her number and asking for mine. Said she couldn't get the tapes for a few weeks, and I casually said "well, you can call or text whenever". It did feel like there was a vibe or some attraction by the way she was looking at me, but it's hard to say because our conversation was short. Does it sound like she's interested, or just wanting to use me for my equipment? I'm not quite sure how to proceed...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yes, I always give my number out to people I just met who I don't find attractive, but simply want to use their burner. :rolleyes:

Common sense man, just assume she's into you until proven otherwise.

You could just ask her out for a drink and eliminate all doubt about this situation. "Hey it's stig. What are you up to this Wednesday? Let's do happy hour."

It's probably easier than analyzing it here.

LOL.

Who knows, she may very well be wanting to use you for your "equipment"..and I'm not talking about your DVD burner... :up:

Only one way to find out, like Iceberg said.

Also, goes without saying that you are under no obligation to help her with her tapes until she proves herself worthy of your time and effort.

What do I make of this? NOTHING!

and so should you. Once you start making SOMETHING out of NOTHING that's when you begin to fail. Getting a number is nothing you have to close the deal. Some girls give out their # like they give friend requests to total strangers. It feeds their ego and nothing else.

Don't even think about it, just ask her out, see what happens. Check out the 2 strikes rule in my signature. If nothing happens just go to the NEXT.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Agh, you beat me to it :D


Anyway, exactly what Iceberg says, but it's pretty ****ing obvious she was attracted to you. Don't be daft, punk.

Agree with you all. I mentioned just briefly she could add me on facebook, don't use it much anyways, and she already sent me a friend request with a cute little note. That was the last place I expected to get a number and I didn't even have to do any work :rockon:
