"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 will try to make this as short and sweet as possible. Had a group project today and there was gonna be a hot girl there that i wanted to game. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to test out my game and build some rapport before i ask her out.

Well she seems down to come but 10 minutes before she messages me telling me she probably wont make it. So im gonna paraphrase what was said.

Path: Your probably going to make it? Why not? It is 10 minutes before just tell us if your not going to come.

Her: My roomate has strep throat and i think i have it.

Path: Allright Feel Better

After this she says she has all these back up plans about how she will get the group work done. However, im thinking that this girl is out having fun (no school today) and she is just giving me an excuse because when i talked to her on the phone she sounded fine 40 minutes before and she didn't say squat about feeling sick. Also, i cassually invited her to a study group 3 weeks ago and she didn't show up (not important because i just said to come join us if she wanted to). So know im thinking that i don't want to trust her with my grade

When i get to my third partners house we discuss it and decide that we don't want to take a chance on her not doing any work. So i tell her look i need a good grade and i would feel more comfortable if we just did all the work and turned it in. (It is a paper and it would be a lot easier if we just did it all in my opinion because once i get started i can ussually end it easy)

So i text her telling her that we are going to do it because of the reasons above. At this point i have kind of nexted her in my head because i feel like i am being a push over for doing all the work but my grade is more important than a girl.

So now she gets in this i need to find a group mode. (apparently i wasn't clear that i was going to let her just get a grade of my hard work). So i decide to flow with it and tell her if she can find a group last mintue great.

Eventually after her saying that she doesn't have many options we find something she can do that isnt really related to the project but a decent amount of work. I get this text message

Her: BTW im not a stupid girl i get A's on all my papers i want a good grade just like you.

Path: I never called you stupid. Im sorry if i offended you it wasn't intentional.

So after that she texts me asking when she should finish it and i say dont stress over it but get it done by tongiht (trying to sound like i know what she is going through if she really is sick because i had mono last year). I then asked her for her aim (easier than texting and she gave it to me).

What would you guys have done or said? Or what would your next move be? She is kind of nexted because i think i pissed her off unintentionally like i said, but if you guys think i can salvage this in some way i am always willing to try
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Why did you apologize? I would have said, " I never called you stupid, but now that I think about it..." Obviosuly she didn't put in the effort to do the work. I do all my school work and all the responsibilities I need to do even if I am sick unless it is to the point where I can't even think strait. To me it seems like this chick is faking it.

The thing is she could actually be sick. It seems very probable that she is faking it, but if she isn't? I probably shoudnt have said sorry your right, but i don't think the "now that i think about it" is really necessary.

So everyone agrees i should have just called her out on it and told her to get her ass there even if she was sick?

Edit: And she is going to do some of the work. I was just gonna try and put my grade in the class before her because i have a c and cant **** up. I never actually did reward her because she thought we were gonna drop her? <---- thats a question because im not sure if letting her skip out on the group meeting was a reward.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
