"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 just read that article by Docloveon the front page of sosuave on mixed signals. at the end it said,

Remember, guys, that when a girl doesn’t pick up the phone and call you within two weeks, that means you’re out forever with that girl.
It seems reasonable, but in the world of instant messaging, can this concept be applied even though alot of todays communication is done through IM's?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I didn't read that article, but by the looks of that quote, it seems like it's jumping the gun just a little.

I've known some girls who have blatantly told me they couldn't live without a phone, but these girls are the ones that couldn't shut their trap if you stapled their lips together.

I've also known some very shy girls who are very passive and would RARELY if ever call up a guy, but if you called them, they'd be very responsive and excited to hear from you.

Overall, the advice sounds too generalized. I'll try to go read the article to see what it says.

I agree that this is a bit too generalized. Some women simply find it difficult to pickup the phone and call a man even if they are interested. And I banged a few that were quite flakey and lacked any phone etiquette.

Do a search on confident persistence. That may answer some of your questions.

Good Luck. ;)

Just read the article, and to me, it sounded sort of like crummy advice. It's overzealous nexting if you ask me.

These types of cases should always be analyzed case-by-case, and not by a blanket statement like that.
