"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 curious if the guys here who proclaim to spin multiple plates with women do so with their male friends as well.

I have a number of male acquaintances but few I would call "close" . This pandemic hasn't helped as those I had were guys who participated in weekly leagues and events with.
 

"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.

One or two close male friends, one or two more close female friends, (some of which I’ve dated, some not), and a large group of male acquaintances. I feel pretty good about myself friends-wise and I can have just as much fun with them as with a girl on a date.

Unsure which option to choose.
Most people I know are beyond the acquaintance level (I'm old and lived in the same town for a while) but I find most of them usually uninteresting. I'll still attend their social events, but as people, I wouldn't miss most if they moved away.
I have five friends that I genuinely care about.
