"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'm right now sitting in this coffee shop with my laptop. To my right is a table with 2 girls very busy talking non-stop. Before I sat down there was a momemtary eye contact with the cuter of the 2 girls and I had immediately said "Hi" but she seemed not to notice. I don't know what I should do to break conversation and talk something. Help please.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Just walk past them, body rock towards your original direction (could be the bathroom) and say "You 2 are just so loud. My gosh. Thanks though. It's a pleasure to be included in your conversation."

something along those lines, edit that to fit your personality. There you go, ice broken.

So I asked them "HI! Excuse me, "
(they look at me)
"can I have some information please... I'm new to Bangalore. Can you suggest me some nice things to do in the weekend?"

cuter girl: "There are malls, people go out with friends..." (I can't clearly hear all that she said. she kind of mumbles)

me : "but malls are there in every city right? are there any places special to
do in Bangalore?"

cuter girl: "nothing much special about Bangalore. people go out with friends, go to malls, that's all".

me: before I moved to bangalore I used to hear there are lots of nice places in bangalore to see.

she: ya there are many gardens here and it is called a garden-city

me: but i hardly see any people going to the gardens.. i've seen they are mostly empty.

she: ya ..
me (looking at the other girl with a smile): How about you? What do you
think?

other girl: ya, malls only..

me: but guys don't like to shop! it is a girly activty, right..
(they both smile)
me: so that's how you girls spend your weekends?

(they both agree)
(then I give them a break and they carry on their girly talk)

After sometime the cuter girl goes to pay her bill while the other girl converses to someone on her mobile phone. When the cuter girl come back I say to her
"So you two guys work together?"
Seems she didn't hear me clearly and says "sorry?"
me: (repeat)
cuter-girl: Ya .
me: You guys seem like real thick friends
cuter-girl: (mumbles something in agreement)
(i smile and she smiles)
then they carry on their conversation.

Then I guess it is time to get phone number before it is too late, so I pay my bill, pick up my bag and say
"Ok, I got to go. I was nice talking to you girls.."
(they both smile)
me: "Can we talk sometime again later?"
cuter-girl: (trying to be clever, mumbles something like) you might see us somewhere around in the area..
me: (ignoring that) like if I lose directions in Bangalore city..
(they smile)
me: Can I have your phone number?
she: Sorry (with a smile)
me: ok, see you (with a smile)

THE END

Good job i have to give you an A for effort at the very least. I think you needed to engage them before and grow some more interest. I do the same thing i run around on the same uninteresting topic and places to see didn't really get them talking to you. I am not a fan of canned material, but thats why it works it gets girls involved in what they want to talk about. Your conversation with them seemed very bland to me and it was not really going anywhere.

Also, i am not sure but engaging them multiple times probably is not the best route to go. I think you seem less desperate if you go in with confidence and leave with the number. Rather then trying to spark the conversation three times.

Good job though it was a really good effort on your part and if you keep it up there is no doubt in my mind that it will get easier for you.

You get an A for effort but usually when you ask for a number it doesn't quite work out. "Before I go, put your number in my phone." Or do the David D "write your e-mail address down" close if you really wanted to keep in contact for them.
