"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've been out on two dates with this girl, who i met through my mates girlfriend and the two dates have gone really well I think, ended with a nice kiss last night.

These two dates have been set up by me and she seems to be interested, but when the night came to an end last night after i kissed her, I told her it was her turn to organise a night and that she was to call me. The thing is that this girl is on a pay as you go phone and never seems to txt so Im starting to wonder whether I've probably killed any chances with her by giving her control....duh!

am I screwed? probably, but if theres any advice then I would like to hear some.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You left the ball in her court on the second date after she has shown nothing but high interest?

That was a huge fumble.

You just relenquished one of the three C's. You have to maintain control. Only put the ball in her court if she is vacillating about you, and not before you've established a strong rapport. The only reason you do it THEN is to knock her off the fence by denying her the option and letting her feel how much her life would suck without you in it.

Recover the ball as soon as you can. Arrange to run into her and tell her you're wounded that she didn't call, but you'll let her make it up to you by going out with you saturday night.

you do not want to show her that you care about the fact she did not call.

That's why you play the whole thing over the top, so that she doesn't take it seriously. A small, joking mention of interest doesn't make him an effeminate pansy, but it does regain all the ground he lost with her and places her once again in his pocket. ;)
